bandaideman Posted February 8, 2016 Report Posted February 8, 2016 What do you do with a lot of teak? anything you want tomsteve 1 Quote
orangeman Posted February 8, 2016 Report Posted February 8, 2016 PUZZLES! Cut in half with a bandsaw and plane each to 3/4" thick. Cut puzzles. Seal with Watco Teal Oil. or sell 2" stock to woodturners for tops, pens, etc. Lemme think now. You are in Ft. Lauderdale. Lots of boats have teak. Maybe a market there? tomsteve 1 Quote
Lucky2 Posted February 8, 2016 Report Posted February 8, 2016 Kevin, if it's good teak, there should be a market out there for it. There's lots of people who would love to get this wood, it's valuable. Len tomsteve 1 Quote

NC Scroller Posted February 8, 2016 Report Posted February 8, 2016 My friend has lot of long teak boards he wants gone,2"x 6 or 8" wide by8 or 10' long?They need to be planed. I did a web search near you and found a place called Fort Lauderdale Wood Working (http://fortlauderdalewoodworking.com/) and Constantines Wood Center (http://www.constantines.com/) I am sure one of them could mill it for you for a minimal fee or maybe you can barter and have them do it for part of the wood supply. Does not hurt to ask. Quote

tomsteve Posted February 8, 2016 Report Posted February 8, 2016 the TOM foundation- a non profit organization helping woodworkers in my shop named tom- is accepting donations of teak. Quote
heppnerguy Posted February 8, 2016 Report Posted February 8, 2016 It sounds like you are on your way to unexpected wealth with all that teak. How about an E Bay account ? They sell a lot of craft woods there. Dick heppnerguy Quote
