Teak Lumber in Los Angeles
Teak is one of the most sought-after hardwoods in the world, and for good reason. Celebrated for its golden-brown color, straight grain, natural oil content, and extraordinary weather resistance, it has been the wood of choice for boat building, outdoor furniture, and high-end millwork for centuries. At House of Hardwood, we carry a reliable selection of teak lumber to serve woodworkers, boat builders, furniture makers, designers, and contractors across Los Angeles.
Teak Lumber
Our teak lumber is available in 4/4 through 8/4 thicknesses in both rough-sawn and surfaced (S4S) options. We stock plantation-grown Burmese teak in select and better grades, suitable for marine, exterior, and fine interior applications. Wide boards and longer lengths are available when stock allows - ask our team about current inventory and sourcing.
Why Woodworkers and Builders Choose Teak
- Natural weather resistance - Teak's high oil and silica content make it naturally resistant to rot, moisture, and UV degradation without any sealant or chemical treatment
- Marine heritage - The benchmark wood for boat decking, trim, and brightwork, trusted by shipbuilders for generations
- Dimensional stability - Resists warping, cupping, and checking better than nearly any other hardwood, even through extreme temperature and humidity swings
- Rich, warm appearance - Its golden honey-to-medium-brown tones develop a distinguished character over time; left unfinished outdoors, it weathers to a silver-gray patina
- Finishing versatility - Takes teak oil, varnish, and marine-grade finishes beautifully; equally stunning left natural for a low-maintenance indoor or outdoor look

Sizing
Here at the House Of Hardwood, we sell most of our lumber by volume, using Board Feet.
Volume = Thickness" x Width" x Length" / 144 = bf
Importantly, the hardwood measuring system bases the thickness based on rough cutting done at the lumber mill, so all fractions indicate the ROUGH thickness.
We sell our hardwood S2S (Surfaced 2 Sides) – This means the boards have been planed down from their rough cut form to be flat. The edges are still not straight at this point, but we can straighten them up for you!
This S2S operation removes 3/16" therefore it is important to note net thicknesses:
| Rough Thickness | Net Thickness (S2S) |
|---|---|
| 4/4 Lumber | 13/16" |
| 5/4 Lumber | 1 1/16" |
| 6/4 Lumber | 1 5/16" |
| 8/4 Lumber | 1 13/16" |
| 10/4 Lumber | 2 5/16" |
| 12/4 Lumber | 2 13/16" |
| 16/4 Lumber | 3 13/16" |
Teak is a premium imported hardwood and inventory can vary by thickness, width, and length. We recommend calling ahead or stopping by to confirm availability and hand-select your material.
