    African teak is a yellow-orange to golden-brown wood with coarse texture and interlocked grain. It has medium density and bending strength, with low stiffness and shock resistance but high crushing strength. Common uses include building construction, work benches, flooring, doors, windows, and railway construction due to its density and strength properties. Standard veneer thickness for architectural purposes is 0.6mm.
