[+] What if I need specific sizes? You'll have to cut your own pieces to size. Hardwood lumber is sold as a bulk raw product, which means that our stacks of lumber have a big variety of sizes most often from 4" up to 12" wide, and 6' to 16' long.
- Only some unusual exotic woods are narrower than 4" and under 6' long. This is clearly stated when that's the case, everything else is larger.
- We always ship the longest boards possible, and rarely ship boards less than 48" long unless you request shorter. The longest we can ship by UPS is 96" (that's 8').
For general fine woodworking, the various widths and lengths meet the needs and desires of woodworkers building furniture, cabinetry, and fine woodwork. But we do understand that certain projects have some requirements, and we're happy to help you out.
Here's how we can help you get the sizes you need:
- We can hand-select material that will yeild what you need. Type your needs into the "Selection" field right above the Add to Cart button above when you place your order. 4 things to know about size requests
- We can do some custom milling or cutting. Please call or email to talk about your needs.
- Thickness: 13/16'' thick, surfaced smooth two sides (4/4 S2S)

I only work with teak if I can't talk my customer into going with iroko or afromosia instead. Maybe ipe, depending on the job. Teak looks great and all but I just don't like how it dulls my blades pretty fast.

I have bought 100+ bf of both 4/4 and 8/4 teak 3 times over the past couple of years to build outdoor furniture. This is the best quality teak I have found and it is so convenient to have the UPS driver deliver it to my door. Everything I have read says that teak is so much more difficult to work, but, I don't find it any more difficult to work than any other quality, dense hardwood, like white oak or hard maple. I guess if all you have ever worked with is pine, teak is more difficult to work. It does tend to gum up abrasives and wear down your sharp edges more quickly; and, you need to clean all joints with acetone before gluing. I also find it best to use epoxy (system 3 T-33 in the self-mixing applicator tubes) instead of polyurethane glue, only because it is easier to clean up.
