Characteristics of

Nigerian Teak Wood

Nigerian Teak, also known as African Teak or Nigerian Golden Teak, is a hardwood primarily sourced from Nigeria. While not as renowned as teak varieties from Southeast Asia, Nigerian Teak possesses unique characteristics that make it valuable for various applications:

  • Species and Characteristics: Nigerian Teak comes from the species Tectona grandis, similar to other teak varieties. However, it may differ in color, grain pattern, and growth characteristics due to environmental factors in West Africa.
  • Color and Appearance: Nigerian Teak typically features a warm golden to medium brown color with darker streaks or mottling, making it visually appealing for indoor and outdoor uses.

Nigerian Teak is renowned for its durability and strength, making it suitable for challenging environments like outdoor furniture and boat building. It is relatively easy to work with using hand and machine tools, though care is needed when gluing due to its natural oils.

Nigerian Teak is used in furniture making, flooring, decking, cabinetry, joinery, and construction, valued for its beauty, durability, and workability. Sustainable forestry practices are crucial for Nigerian Teak forests to ensure long-term availability and minimize environmental impact.

Overall, Nigerian Teak offers many desirable qualities, making it a sought-after choice for craftsmen, builders, and manufacturers locally in West Africa and internationally.
