			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<br/><p style="text-align: justify;">Teak has become such a popular choice for house owners that it is advisable that you should know something about this wood. Teak is a dense, coarsely grained hardwood which in the dry state weighs an average 40 lbs per cu.ft. The grains in teak are in most cases straight but sometimes they are wavy also.<br />
There are three grades of teak, A,  and C, with A topping the charts. As wood textures go, teak has a coarse and uneven one. The wood has a pleasant aroma, when freshly sawn is akin to the smell of leather but looks dull. It also has a slightly oily feel, which has been attributed to the high oil content present in teak. Teak has a high level of silica which blunts most blades.</p>
<p>The best thing about teak is that it is long lasting. Teak has been used to build ships because it can withstand the rigors of Nature better than any other wood. Check out the park benches in English parks; they have been made from the timber taken from the wooden decks of old ships. Some of the benches are more than a century old.</p>
<p>The high content of resinous oil in the wood makes teak very durable and plays a major factor in making it resistant to termites and other wood boring insects. Good teak is also resistant to water and chemical reagents as well as acids. There is also no reaction when it comes in contact with metals; bolts, hinges and so on.</p>
<p>Since there are so many retailers and online sites selling teak furniture, you are always at a loss to find out whether the claims they are making are true or not. Here is a detailed guide on how to spot the difference between the different grades of teak. You could check the label or ask retailers what grade of teak the furniture is made of.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Grade A Teak:</strong> Term covers usage of the mature heartwood section of the teak timber. It is a uniform &#8216;warm honey&#8217;<a href="http://www.teakgardenindonesia.com/wp-content/uploads/DSCI0400.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-693];player=img;"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-695" style="margin: 2px;" title="DSCI0400" src="http://www.teakgardenindonesia.com/wp-content/uploads/DSCI0400-150x150.jpg" alt="DSCI0400 150x150 Teak Wood Grade A and C comparison   Teak Garden Furniture" width="150" height="150" /></a> colour, close grained, oily to the touch, very dense and rich in protective oils. Burmese Grade A teak will contain mostly a straight grain while Indonesian plantation grade A teak contains more of a unique curvy grain. This grade of teak makes up only 20-25% of a mature log therefore making it far more expensive to purchase. A very strong wood, that is naturally resistant to the elements and should easily last a lifetime. Teak wood is produced from the center of the tree (commonly known as the &#8216;heart&#8217; wood). A grade A piece of teak will be produced from a tree from 30-50 years of age.<br />
characteristics: close grain, warm/honey color, oil rich and knot free. No streaks of white, no knots on top side, very few (live knots only – where there is discoloration but no fill – on the underside) knots, and these knots have to be less than 0.5 inch in diameter, and present only once in every 3-4 linear feet. This kind of wood is used in machine made teak furniture, since it is risky for the manufacturer to allow a cottage industry person to play with expensive, high quality wood and expect mediocre to bad results.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The characteristics of grade A teak</strong><br />
Grade A teak will be uniform in color and in grain. The wood will not have sap or knots and black grains. When sun light falls on teak, it will have a shine. Good quality teak will not have pin holes and will be with no defects.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Look at the cross section of this Trinidad arm chair as an example and note the closeness of the grain and the even honey colour throughout:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Grade C Teak:</strong> Term covers usage of sapwood from the outer sections of the log which is the living section of the tree. <a href="http://www.teakgardenindonesia.com/wp-content/uploads/Picture-021.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-693];player=img;"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-694" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 2px;" title="Grade C" src="http://www.teakgardenindonesia.com/wp-content/uploads/Picture-021-150x150.jpg" alt="Picture 021 150x150 Teak Wood Grade A and C comparison   Teak Garden Furniture" width="150" height="150" /></a>It is used by the tree to transport water and minerals to the rest (crown) of the tree. It is much softer then heartwood, very patchy with a high contrast in colour (light/dark) and very easy to damaged. With large colour variations, virtually no protective oil content, large water content and the allowance for large knots (even dead knots that are removed then filled using wood filler) it is considered an inferior wood to use. Due to its lack of practical usages, it is extremely cheap to buy and in fact in the old days the sapwood was thrown away as it was considered worthless. It has none of the characteristics of teak heartwood and it is not even recommended for indoor use due to the certainty that it will split and warp in a short length of time. Sapwood is the section of the timber used to pull water to the rest of the tree. Consequently, it has extremely high levels of water and no natural oil whatsoever. You might as well buy cheap Pine furniture as it will last just as long if not longer! This grade of teak makes up around 40-50% of a mature log and 100% of immature logs.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The characteristics of grade C or sap wood</strong><br />
This is the lowest grade of teak and factories sometimes doctor the wood with chemicals to make it look like grade B. The wood in this grade is darker than the other grades; the grain is very clear and is usually dark also.<br />
This is just a basic teak guide; as you go around the stores and do your research you will become quite an expert in indentifying teak and the different grades.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Teak Wood has a dark color in places, mixed with a very white color in places. The white is the young sapwood. There is an allowance for dead knots (where the knot was weak, has been gouged out and filled with epoxy or putty) These knots may be on the top side or the bottom side.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here is an example of untreated grade C teak.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.teakgardenindonesia.com/wp-content/uploads/Picture-024.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-693];player=img;"></a><a href="http://www.teakgardenindonesia.com/wp-content/uploads/teak-grade-c1.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-693];player=img;"></a><a href="http://www.teakgardenindonesia.com/wp-content/uploads/grade-c1.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-693];player=img;"><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-699 alignnone" style="margin: 2px;" title="grade-c1" src="http://www.teakgardenindonesia.com/wp-content/uploads/grade-c1-150x150.jpg" alt="grade c1 150x150 Teak Wood Grade A and C comparison   Teak Garden Furniture" width="150" height="150" /></a><a href="http://www.teakgardenindonesia.com/wp-content/uploads/teak-grade-c1.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-693];player=img;"><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-698 alignnone" style="margin-top: 2px; margin-bottom: 2px;" title="teak-grade-c" src="http://www.teakgardenindonesia.com/wp-content/uploads/teak-grade-c1-150x150.jpg" alt="teak grade c1 150x150 Teak Wood Grade A and C comparison   Teak Garden Furniture" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Did Something Bad to Buy C Grade Product?</strong><br />
Definitely NOT. Using a C grade product may be a wise decision. If using grade A products, we will waste a lot of wood is still useful. It is a waste of natural resources because the rest of the production of waste. This is certainly a not eco friendly.</p>
<p>By using some treatments, C grade product will not look too bad, the price is cheap but looks pretty good<br />
Consider the following picture, grade c products on treatment with teak oil with a little wood stain. Whether you can receive this type of product like this?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.teakgardenindonesia.com/wp-content/uploads/grade-c-oiled.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-693];player=img;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-712" title="grade-c-oiled" src="http://www.teakgardenindonesia.com/wp-content/uploads/grade-c-oiled-300x199.jpg" alt="grade c oiled 300x199 Teak Wood Grade A and C comparison   Teak Garden Furniture" width="300" height="199" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">We call also this C grade is GREEN Furniture for less waste of natural resources</p>

Most people usually put wood furniture on their top list answer when they asked for this question.  Since wood furniture is an everlasting kind of furniture, even brings such a distinctive impression at home. Wood furniture is fitted to any kind of interior style and design, whether you choose traditional, classic, country or even simple and modern, wood furniture has it all. Simply choose which<br />
one is suitable to your house.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One of distinctive wood furniture is recycled teak furniture. This old wood becomes alternative for furniture material due to the scarcity of quality wood or timber as raw material. Besides that, it also helps in natural preservation programs, because we do not need to cut down more trees to make furniture. Who would have thought that used material could be beautiful furniture and sold in high price?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are a lot of furniture manufacturers produce this kind of furniture because this type of furniture has its own fans. Some people are willing to hunt for furniture made from recycled teak wood even it is on overseas. Commonly, the material uses old bearing wood from the railway track (or known as railways sleepers), or other old wood materials like from an old wooden house. This kind of old wood has distinctive characteristic, such as hard, durable, strength, stability and has its richness grain that looks more beautiful, even unpainted.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Beds, chairs, tables or even cabinets can be made from this unique and hard wood material.

<h2>Mount Merapi erupts again; death toll at 44</h2>

<p><a href="http://www.teakgardenindonesia.com/wp-content/uploads/wedhus-gembel.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-586];player=img;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-589" title="wedhus-gembel" src="http://www.teakgardenindonesia.com/wp-content/uploads/wedhus-gembel-300x238.jpg" alt="wedhus gembel 300x238 Pray For Indonesia" width="300" height="238" /></a> Eruptions at Indonesia&#8217;s deadly volcano appeared to be intensifying Friday, as clouds of searing gas and ash cascaded down the mountain, torching slope-side homes and triggering a chaotic midnight evacuation.</p>
<p>A rescue worker told TVOne that at least one man was killed in the latest blast and footage showed more than a dozen injured being carried into a hospital on stretchers.</p>
<p>It was not immediately clear why Bronggang, a village 9 miles (15 kilometers) from the crater and home to around 80 families &#8211; had not been evacuated. Witness told the station more victims were waiting for help.</p>
<p>Mount Merapi, which means &#8220;Fire Mountain,&#8221; is one of the world&#8217;s most active volcanoes.</p>
<p>But even those who have dedicated a lifetime to studying it have been baffled by its erratic behavior since its first Oct. 26 eruption, which has been followed by more than a dozen other powerful blasts and thousands of volcanic tremors.</p>
<p>They&#8217;d earlier hoped that would result in a long, slow release of energy.</p>
<p>&#8220;But we have no idea what to expect now,&#8221; said Surono, a state expert on volcanos, adding that he has never seen the needle on Merapi&#8217;s seismograph working with such intensity.</p>
<p>The fear is that a new lava dome forming in the mouth of the crater will collapse, triggering a deadly surge of up to 1,800 degree Fahrenheit (1,000 degree Celsius) ash and gas &#8211; known to experts as pyroclastic flows &#8211; at speeds of 60 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour).</p>
<p>Though more than 75,000 people living along Merapi&#8217;s fertile slopes have been evacuated to crowded emergency <a href="http://www.teakgardenindonesia.com/wp-content/uploads/merapi.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-586];player=img;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-588 alignright" title="merapi" src="http://www.teakgardenindonesia.com/wp-content/uploads/merapi-300x199.jpg" alt="merapi 300x199 Pray For Indonesia" width="300" height="199" /></a>shelters far from the crater, some have refused to budge while others return to their villages during periods of calm to check on their livestock and homes.</p>
<p>Men with ash-covered faces streamed down the mountain on motorcycles Friday followed by truckloads of villagers, children crying as they clung to their mothers.</p>
<p>An explosion early Thursday fired white clouds a spectacular 20,000 feet (6,000 meters) into the sky. Gusts later carried the smoke westward, dusting roof tops, trees and laundry lines up to 150 miles away (250 kilometers) with thick white powder. Motorists in some cities switched on their headlights.</p>
<p>Activity at Merapi has at times briefly forced nearby airports to close and the Transportation Ministry reiterated Thursday that flight paths near the mountain had been shut down for safety reasons.</p>
<p>Officials insisted, however, that a Qantas jetliner forced to make an emergency landing after one of its four engines failed over Batam, an island 800 miles (1,400 kilometers) to the west, was unrelated.</p>
<p>&#8220;There was no connection with Mount Merapi,&#8221; said Bambang Ervan, a spokesman for the Transportation Ministry. &#8220;It was too far from the volcano &#8211; the sky over Singapore and Sumatra island is free of dust.&#8221;</p>
<p>Merapi has killed at least 45 people since Oct. 26 &#8211; with seven new deaths added to the toll in the last 24 hours.</p>
<p>In 1994, 60 people were killed, while in 1930, more than a dozen villages were torched, leaving up to 1,300 dead.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.teakgardenindonesia.com/wp-content/uploads/merapi21.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-586];player=img;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-590" title="merapi2" src="http://www.teakgardenindonesia.com/wp-content/uploads/merapi21-300x199.jpg" alt="merapi21 300x199 Pray For Indonesia" width="300" height="199" /></a>Mount Merapi&#8217;s &#8220;danger zone&#8221; was widened for the second time in as many days Friday.</p>
<p>Subandrio, a state volcanologist, said people living in villages and emergency camps within 12 miles (20 kilometers) of the crater were told to clear out.</p>
<p>Indonesia, a vast archipelago of 235 million people, is prone to earthquakes and volcanos because it sits along the Pacific &#8220;Ring of Fire,&#8221; a horseshoe-shaped string of faults that lines the Pacific.</p>
<p>The volcano&#8217;s initial blast occurred less than 24 hours after a towering tsunami slammed into the remote Mentawai islands on the western end of the country, sweeping entire villages to sea and killing at least 428 people.</p>
<p>There, too, thousands of people were displaced, many living in government camps.</p>

<p>The dozens of injured lay on mats or the bare floor  as rainwater dripped onto them from holes in the ceiling and  intravenous cords hung from plastic ropes strung from the rafters.</p>
<p>&#8220;We  need doctors, specialists,&#8221; nurse Anputra said, as the baby blinked  sleepliy in a humidified crib at the tiny hospital in Pagai Utara &#8211; one  of the four main islands in the Mentawai chain slammed by Monday&#8217;s  tsunami.</p>
<p>The toll rose to 408 on Friday as officials found more  bodies, and 303 people were still missing, said Agus Prayitno, of the  West Sumatra provincial disaster management center. Rescue teams  &#8220;believe many, many of the bodies were swept to sea,&#8221; said Harmensyah,  the disaster center&#8217;s chief.</p>
<p>Along with the 33 people killed by a  volcano that erupted Tuesday more than 800 miles (1,300 kilometers) to  the east in central Java, the number of dead from the twin disasters has  now reached 441.</p>
<p>After a lull that allowed mourners to hold a  mass burial for victims, Mount Merapi started rumbling again Thursday  <a href="http://www.teakgardenindonesia.com/wp-content/uploads/mentawai1.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-586];player=img;"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-592" title="mentawai1" src="http://www.teakgardenindonesia.com/wp-content/uploads/mentawai1.jpg" alt="mentawai1 Pray For Indonesia" width="300" height="225" /></a>with three small eruptions and three others early Friday &#8211; easing  pressure and possibly making another big eruption less likely. There  were no reports of new injuries or damage.</p>
<p>The catastrophes  struck within 24 hours in different parts of the seismically active  country, severely testing Indonesia&#8217;s emergency response network. The  tsunami was spawned by a 7.7-magnitude quake that struck late Monday  beneath the Indian Ocean.</p>
<p>Aid workers trickling into the remote  region found giant chunks of coral and rocks in places where homes once  stood. Huge swaths of land were submerged. Swollen corpses dotted roads  and beaches.</p>
<p>At the hospital on Pagai Utara, 35-year-old  Sarifinus cradled his 5-year-old, Dimas, who screamed as medical staff  tended to his broken arm.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.teakgardenindonesia.com/wp-content/uploads/mentawai2.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-586];player=img;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-594" title="mentawai2" src="http://www.teakgardenindonesia.com/wp-content/uploads/mentawai2-300x187.jpg" alt="mentawai2 300x187 Pray For Indonesia" width="300" height="187" /></a>The man described how, when the  towering wall of water came, he grabbed his two other young sons and ran  toward the mountain. The wave tore both from his arms and sucked them  away.</p>
<p>Sarifinus and his wife, Martina, who sat staring blankly in  a corner of the hospital, found Dimas alive after the waters receded.</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Associated  Press writers Achmad Ibrahim in the Mentawai islands, Slamet Riyadi at  Mount Merapi and Irwan Firdaus in Jakarta contributed to this report.</span></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<br/><p><strong>Forever Teak: Looking at the World’s Most Enduring Wood</strong></p>
<p>As a collective society we gaze upon the wonders of antiquated civilizations and marvel at their beauty, as ancient engineering and materials that have stood the test of time and retained such clarity. Consider the Pantheon or the Coliseum, concrete formations encompassing the cutting edge of technology and architecture both thousands of years ago and still today. Those handmade ventures are not organic, though, and you might think that nothing made of a once-living material could survive the ravages of time. It would be interesting to note, then, that in certain locations in Western India, including some old temples carved out of cave walls in Salsette, items made from teak have been found in good condition and found to be over 2000 years old! That is all without any added treatments, stains or being petrified, and raises such questions as how, exactly, teak wood is able to boast such longevity.</p>
<p>The answer lies inside the wood itself: teak is rich in resinous oils, rubber and silica, which lends to high resistance and even complete resistance to many of the factors that plague most other tree species such as termites, fungus, and disease. Those oils, called technoquinines, are found in the heartwood of the tree, which is the golden brown interior teak is so well-known for displaying in furniture and decorations. The oils are what make the wood so amazing and long lasting, even keeping a healthy glow to the teak decades after it has been cut down. They are highly waterproof, rendering the wood pliable and easy to shape, plus protect it against the majority of environmental damages, making it excellent for marine usage, which will be looked at momentarily. Teak oil also possesses antibacterial properties.</p>
<p>Because teak is so water and humidity resistant it does not expand or warp in weather, neither will it crack or split under the blistering sun. Add to that the sheer, natural beauty of deep color and the genuine rarity of the trees, and the high demand for teak soon becomes understandable. The trees themselves are quite marvelous and reach heights of over 150 feet, crested with broad, rough leaves of extreme durability, leading them to be used as sandpaper by Javanese locals. Formally called Tectona Grandis, teak is actually a deciduous tropical hardwood belonging to the mint family. While plantations have been started to grow teak in areas like Central America and parts of Africa, only India, Pakistan, Thailand, and Burma (Myanmar) own natural teak forests and most enthusiasts (at least those from Burma) agree that Burma grows the best teak available, bar none, while Thailand banned felling the trees since the 1980s. Indonesia (Bali/Java) has transplanted forests, or farms, and is one of the biggest exporters of teak wood. It is generally accepted that plantation trees are not quite as good as naturally bred trees, but little actually sustains this; however, plantation teak is often used for everything but ocean-faring crafts. Lending to the rarity of the wood, the trees only grow sparsely, maybe up to five in a one acre area, and take over 40 years to mature to the point of being good for cutting. Indeed, the older the tree the better and 50+ years in age is highly preferred.</p>
<p>The process of getting a tree to the lumberyard is a bit more complicated than most; the tree must be prepped a year in advance to cutting it down by ‘scratching’ or girdling it on the underside to allow water to drain from the trunk. Even then, once it is cut it is too heavy to float downstream, so it is bundled and left to dry for three more years. Elephants are often employed to assist in this process, where they are trained to drag the heavy trunk long distances and stack them. Elephants make a much smaller environmental impact than heavy machines and more elaborate equipment. Adding to the expense and low availability of teak, the sapwood of the tree, which is the outer shell or bark, and shows as a grayish color, is thicker than is usually found in trees which leaves less heartwood, the most desirable, resistant part. There are many factors why it costs so much to buy teak furniture, but the product is so utterly superior to any other wood that it is worth the investment.</p>
<p><strong>Not Just Enduring, Also Outstanding</strong></p>
<p>Speaking of utterly superior, there is simply no better wood with which to adorn a boat or build a ship from than teak. Teak has been utilized in ship making for a very long time now, traced back to the Chinese Ming Dynasty and used extensively in Western boats and ships since the Middle Ages. In the 1800s, the Dutch established the oldest teak plantations still in use today; such was the demand for teak. There is no substitute for teak when it comes to sea-worthy vessel usage though some try to finder lower cost replacements. Only teak will not splinter under gunfire, which was of substantial benefit in the 18th century, since a main reason for casualties was shrapnel from splintering wood in naval warfare of the day.</p>
<p>In modern usage, teak is available in the form of parquet flooring, gorgeous indoor and outdoor furniture pieces, plus it graces the decks of many high-end boats and ships, the rubber and silica content of the wood allowing for wet decks to remain non-slippery. It also possesses the unique quality of zero oxidation when in contact with metal and will often out-last metals due to its immense durability. When ships are pulled because they are no longer sea-worthy, quite often the teak decking is still very good, so the wood is reclaimed and finds new purpose as furniture. While teak can be treated, it does not have to be and left untreated it will age to a lovely silvery-gray color, the similar to other weathered woods but with none of the decreased capacity. It will not warp from weather, nor fade, crack, split, lose sheen, or lose value. It is a king among woods and from 2000 years in the past until this very second, it is also the most enduring, sought-after, and highly prized wood in the world.</p>
