Teak examples

OK but much prefer vertical grain

Q

Photo

This type of curved grain is OK if the color does not vary strongly from door to door, attracting attention for a large inconsistency.

Q

Photo

Don’t like the extremely strong striping. We have lots of teak furniture and have not seen this type of zebra striping in any of it.

Q

Photo

This looks fine. Vertical grain on vertical cabinets and horizontal grain on horizonal draws is OK.

Q

Photo

This looks fine but would prefer vertical grain.

Q

Photo

This looks really nice. Quarter Sawn Teak

Q

Photo

The grain and color look good in this photo, but perhaps the lighting doesn’t show the red color and shimmery light banding of the sample we have. Like example SAPELE

Q

Photo

Still like this a lot. Nice example

Q

Photo

I can see now that it is redder than the teak. So hard to tell with variation in lighting. Nice example SAPELE

Q

Photo

I still like this, though not the horizontal grain I see that it is more red than others but thought it might be the lighting. The grain looks more like teak to me that the grain of the Sapele sample we have. Love this teak best of all, but would prefer that the grain run vertically. SAPELE

Q

Photo

On second thought, the veneer, especially to the left, looks pretty splotchy, not a great example.

Q

Photo

Color and grain are very nice. Nice example

Still like this but color looks lighter than most walnut. Nice example for bathroom - grain could run horizontal or vertical WALNUT

I can see now that this is more red.Nice example SAPELE

Q

This is an example of what we would not like - splotchy and wildly irregular
