Teak lumber is characterized by its density, durability, strength and alluring honey-gold wood grain. It’s also uniquely water-resistant and resistant to pests such as termites, mold and mildew.
Our slow growth plantations offer a reliable and conflict-free source of beautiful teak lumber without contributing to the destruction of Southeast Asia’s tropical forests.

The Quarter System
The quarter system refers to the rough thickness of a board in ¼” increments. Rough thickness refers to the thickness of a board before it was surfaced, or planed. For example, a 4/4 board was 1” thick before it was surfaced.
Additionally, planed thickness varies depending on the type of surfacing used in the milling process. There are two standard types of surfacing:
| Lumber Quarter System | |||

| Nominal Size | Rough Size | Actual Size | |
| 1/4″ System | Rough Thickness | S1S | S2S |
| 4/4 | 1″ | 7/8″ | 13/16″ |
| 5/4 | 1 1/4″ | 1 1/8″ | 1 1/16″ |
