About Teak Wood
·
Teak is a natural wood which contains natural teak oil within the wood.
·
There may be gradual color change of the wood overtime to a silvery-grey shade;
this is a natural aging characteristic of teak wood.
·
When exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, the oil may become visible on the wood
surface. The oil will disappear overtime especially when the teak ages to its natural
silvery grey color.
