Teakwood refers to the hard, strong, and durable lumber derived from teak trees, which are indigenous to southeast Asia and are predominantly grown in Indonesia, India, Myanmar, and Bangladesh. The wood is highly valued for its resistance to decay, insects, and weathers, hence it is often used for outdoor furniture, flooring, construction, carving, and boat building. It is also known for its golden or medium brown appearance and its straight grain and coarse texture.
