WTB: Teak for patio chairs, near 01776 - Dumb_Polack - 04-03-2021
Got a source for any teak? (I copied our friends' teak chair and made 8 out of cedar. Now they want a few made out of teak for themselves).
Need a little 8/4 but mostly 4/4.

Wall lumber has 4/4 and 5/4 Teak. I've been very happy with the lumber I've bought from them.

Hearne Hardwoods has 4/4 and 8/4 but I've never dealt with them, just bookmarked their site.

I see that your pretty close to me in 01746.
I would suggest Newport Nautical Timbers, Keiver-Willard, Newburyport, Ma
Boutler Plywood, Sommerville, Ma
Expect to pay north of $18-20/bdft
You may want to hunt up Silver Bali or Angelique as possible substitutes
I would also recommend White Oak...lot less expensive, good rot decay resistance, weathers very nicely

I don't know where you live but I was just at West Penn Hardwood in Hickory, NC. I bought some African Teak called Iroko. The price starts at $5.80 a board ft but they add surcharges for wider stock. I paid $7.80 for mine. The place is huge and they have everything from turning stock to slabs. They had wood I never heard of.
Good luck.

Never heard of that before. Very interesting, "real" teak locally can run $30-$40 per board foot. I don't use it.
