The growth cycle of a log

Burmese teak is a kind of tree with a long growth cycle, which takes at least 50 years to mature. During this long growth process, the teak gradually accumulates hard wood and fine texture. In fact, in many cases, 70-year-old teak may not be more than 40 cm in diameter, and the available heartwood portion is even smaller, indicating its slow growth and the value of the material.

The reason why teak can maintain stability and durability in long-term use is largely due to its long growth cycle and the special environment of tropical rainforests. Under high temperature and humid conditions, teak not only becomes hard wood, but also naturally forms a high degree of corrosion resistance and stability. In addition, teak contains teak oil, a natural oil that is waterproof and antiseptic without additional chemical treatment, ensuring its durability in all conditions.

Therefore, the reason why Myanmar teak is regarded as the "king of wood" and is widely used in high-end furniture, yacht decks, architectural decoration and other fields is closely related to its long growth cycle and its excellent material characteristics.
