Teak

Wood Markets High teak prices push buyers to alternatives

Teak remains a sought-after hardwood, but its high cost, around $80 per board foot, is driving customers towards more affordable alternatives like mahogany, sapele, and iroko. These alternatives, priced at $18-$20 per board foot, are often chosen for marine projects and moisture-prone applications, with teak sales being limited and low-volume.
