If it is African teak I would say it would be expense, the teak I have used in NZ is very hard, not sure where it was from

You should be able to get A grade pine whith out knots but you pay more for it, best thing is to pick your own out when buying

Jarrah is an Australian hard wood red in color and very dense, it is in the gum tree family, it does not grown in NZ to my knowledge and a lot of it came to NZ in the early years as dunnage on the ships, it turns and finishs beautifully, I have some ready to saw but not sure as yet what I will cut.
