Teak is best for outdoor and garden furniture as it has high oil content, that means it is very resistive to extremes of weather, and is also very stable. This type of furniture is not only used for outdoor furnishings but for marine vessels such as ship decking. The primary reason is that it is very long lasting and stable because it contains a high level of silica which is found naturally in the wood. These provide the teak a very unique quality, but also means that it is very hard to shape and cut, most of the time requires the use of carbide and even diamond tipped cutting equipments. This also means that teak is highly expensive as compared to other woods however the natural beauty of teak surely makes it worth the money. If your furniture has been outside for several months and it will begin to turn silver gray in color this is simply because of the effect of the ultra violet rays of the sun and is absolutely natural and will not affect the quality of the wood.
