Golden to medium brown heartwood with natural oils makes teak one of the most stable and rot-resistant woods there is. Plantation-grown teak shows more color variation than old growth, and it remains a top choice for Southwest Florida outdoor and marine projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSold by the board foot\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe sell plantation teak rough sawn in random widths and lengths, in 4\/4 (1 inch nominal) and 8\/4 (2 inch nominal) thicknesses.
