Teak wood is famous for its expensive price. However, many people fall in love with the material that makes everything look luxurious.
There are various types of wood that can be used, one of which is teak. Teak itself is divided into 3 types.
1. Teak Gold
Gold teak is the most widely cultivated teak by many people.
This is because the golden teak tree is able to grow faster and live longer than other types of teak.
In just 6-14 years, golden teak is ready to be cut down and formed into home furniture or commercial wood.
The most striking characteristics of gold teak are its darker skin and large pores.
2. Perhutani teak
Perhutani teak wood, or TPK, is teak that is treated directly by the Department of Forestry.
That’s why the breed is so special.
This species requires special care because of its longer growing period and requires more attention.
Perhutani teak takes 20 years to grow into an adult tree.
The logging of Perhutani teak is not arbitrary.
Each process must pass a permit from the service and be selected to ensure the quality of the wood is up to standard.
3. People’s Teak
The next type of teak is people’s teak.
People’s teak has the characteristics of a bent stem and dense pores.
The growth period of people’s teak is longer than golden teak.
This wood can only be ready to be cut down and transformed into furniture starting from 14-26 years old.
Because of the sluggish growth period, the pores of people’s teak are dense.
Another characteristic of people’s teak is that it has less sapwood than Perhutani teak and gold teak.
