@Corelz125 Rosenzweig Lumber. Was extremely impressed with their overall selection despite being slightly disappointed in their teak. Also, not 100% sure since I didn’t confirm it with the manager or anything, but I asked a few questions of an employee and I was a little bit disappointed in some of their policies given how they impacted my search for teak. A lot of boards, maybe like 25-50% of them, had waxy paint on the ends, preventing you from making out the end grain. Since I’m trying to make sure I get good boards with ideal grain density and direction, the wax covered ends prevented me from choosing those boards. According to the employee, if i were to even just scrape some of the wax off to see the grain, it’d be a “you break it you buy it” situation. Came across as VERY far fetched, but didn’t care to argue as a first time customer there.
With that said, being there gave me a first hand appreciation for the difference between old growth and new growth teak. Just take a look at the difference in this grain structure!

The rings on the board in the less zoomed in photo are easily over twice as dense as the other board.
Why’d you ask? Do you shop there or something?
