Teak (Tectona grandis) - straight -
With this wood it is possible to manufacture a handle as desired. 1 block contains enough wood for 2 traditional Japanese handles.
Teak (Tectona grandis) is one of the best known types of wood. In general, Teak is strong and hard, yet fairly easy to work and finish.
Teak (Tectona grandis) is a tropical hardwood tree species in the family Lamiaceae. It is a large, deciduous tree that occurs in mixed hardwood forests. Tectona grandis has small, fragrant white flowers arranged in dense clusters (panicles) at the end of the branches. These flowers contain both types of reproductive organs (perfect flowers). The large, papery leaves of teak trees are often hairy on the lower surface. Teak wood has a leather-like smell when it is freshly milled and is particularly valued for its durability and water resistance. The wood is used for boat building, exterior construction, veneer, furniture, carving, turnings, and other small wood projects.
The types of wood offered here are well dried and without sapwood and woodworm. The wood may contain some small knots and twists, which is very nice with finished handles.
