ive never had nor will i ever have a desire to work with teak ! i used ipe a lot because i worked for a lumber yrad and got a lot of ipe for free 🤑 so yeah it was worth the extra. but ill say, every spring i sand the tables and re oil and the wood looks like brand new again. and ive never had a termite attempt it yet ! 😁
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
