Teak wood

[jeff44]

I have posted the results of my experience with the Teakwood.  I learned a lot and also how to scrape instead of sanding,

I would love to read your review if I knew where to go

[jeff44]

I posted a picture of the finished project in the gallery section.  The wood is extremely brittle and burns very easily.  I found that if you use a cabinet wood scraper, then sand.  The scraper get most of the high down and then you can sand the wood easier with going thru so many sheets of san paper.  I also used 3 #9 blades because the wood is so thick and hard.  I did like the results but it does take a long time and you do have to go slow.

Thanks Jeff, I'll check it out.

Nice work Jeff.  I'm sure the cross is not attached though as it is not centered.

No the cross is not yet attached.  I took the picture with my phone camera.  The guy i made it for is going to attach both the cross to the back and then to the deck he made out of Teak.  I did not to make it to hard for him to handle, so I left it unattached.
