About London Woods Teak

The timber used in the manufacture of London Woods furniture comes from ecologically managed plantations in Asia, which are controlled by local governments, where a scientific program of continuous replanting ensures that, far from being depleted and threatened, these wonderful species flourish and remain protected. The Teak Tree:(Tectona grandis L.f.)

Family: Verbenaceae

In its natural habitat, teak is often a large tree, with a clean, cylindrical bole above a fluted or often buttressed base. It can vary considerably in height, girth and form, according to locality, particularly in regard to soil conditions. On favourable sites, it can reach a height of 39m to 45m and a diameter of 1.5m with a clear bole of 10m up to 24m.

Sapwood and Heartwood

Sapwood plays an important part in a tree's living processes. In general, only the last few outside layers of the sapwood are alive. The rest of the sapwood carries moisture from the roots to the leaves and stores food for the tree. It usually has a higher moisture content than the heartwood.
