Zachary 2 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Apologies if has been asked before, where is the best place to find teak. Only looking for a couple of cubes of around 60mm so off-cuts would be perfect. Ta. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DrWatson 367 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 There are likely to be some suppliers - $$$ Can you do it in some other kind of wood? I've found discarded garden furniture and BBQ sometimes have some quite nice wood. Otherwise, a piece like that could be cut from a dead Pohutukawa (hard/strong/durable) or a piece of Puriri (even harder) sometimes sold as firewood. You could also press a suitable piece of Kanuka into service - incredibly hard, just watch grain orientation. Unless you desperately absolutely need teak of course...

Zachary 2 Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 Thanks All, exact dimensions are 2 blocks of 40 x 50 x 60mm if there are any teak-laden scrap bins out there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
