Teak Wood Logs are raw, unprocessed or minimally processed lengths of Tectona grandis, one of the world’s most valued hardwoods. Known for their exceptional durability, natural oil content, and rich grain, teak logs are in high demand across industries like furniture, construction, marine, and architectural design.

• Botanical Name: Tectona grandis

• Common Sources:

  • Burma (Myanmar) – highest quality, old-growth teak

  • India, Indonesia – seasoned plantation teak

  • Panama, Colombia, Costa Rica – fast-growing plantation teak

• Appearance:

  • Color: Golden to medium brown, darkens over time

  • Grain: Straight to wavy, with a smooth, oily texture

• Sizes: Logs are sold by length (2–5 meters) and diameter (25–80+ cm), and may be round or squared.

Brazil Teak Wood Logs refer to raw, harvested logs of teak (Tectona grandis) grown in Brazil’s well-managed teak plantations. Brazil is one of the leading Latin American countries exporting high-quality plantation teak, especially for use in furniture, doors, flooring, and marine applications due to its excellent strength, grain, and durability.

• Botanical Name: Tectona grandis

• Origin: Brazil (primarily Mato Grosso, Pará, and Rondônia)

• Type: Plantation teak (typically 15–30 years old)

• Form: Round logs or semi-squared, rough-sawn

• Color: Light golden brown to medium brown, matures into darker brown with age

Costa Rica Teak Wood Logs refer to raw, round or roughly squared timber harvested from Tectona grandis plantations in Costa Rica—a country known for its sustainable forestry practices and high-quality plantation teak. These logs are widely used in furniture making, doors, outdoor decking, and construction due to teak's natural resistance to decay, pests, and moisture.

• Botanical Name: Tectona grandis

• Origin: Costa Rica (Central America)

• Type: Plantation teak, generally 15–25 years old

• Log Form: Round or squared, rough-sawn, typically unseasoned (green) or air-dried

Colombia Teak Wood Logs refer to raw, unprocessed or minimally processed teak timber sourced from Colombian plantations. Teak (Tectona grandis) grown in Colombia has become increasingly popular due to the country's favorable tropical climate, which allows for sustainable plantation growth and a good-quality hardwood yield.

• Origin: Grown in Colombia, mostly in managed plantations, making it a sustainable and eco-friendly source.

• Wood Type: Hardwood, known for its natural oils, high durability, and resistance to rot and pests.

• Color & Grain: Light golden to medium brown, with a straight to wavy grain. The color deepens with age and polishing.

• Size: Supplied in log form—round logs or squared logs (sawn timber) of various diameters and lengths.

• Moisture Content: Often sold green (fresh) or air/kiln dried, depending on end use.

Panama Teak Wood Logs refer to raw or semi-processed teak timber harvested from teak plantations in Panama. Teak from this region is grown primarily on sustainably managed farms, and while it is generally younger than Burmese teak, it still offers strong durability and visual appeal, making it a popular and cost-effective alternative in global timber markets.

• Botanical Name: Tectona grandis

• Origin: Plantation-grown in Panama, typically aged 10–25 years at harvest.

• Color & Grain:

  • Freshly cut logs are light golden brown, darkening with age.

  • Grain is typically straight, sometimes wavy, with a smooth texture.

• Oil Content: Contains natural teak oil, providing resistance to decay, termites, and moisture—though usually less than old-growth Burmese teak.

• Sustainability: Often FSC-certified and grown under regulated forest management practices.
