We have a hand crafted teak table. It’s made out of recovered or reclaimed teak. Since teak is a protected wood in many countries, yet still a product that many nations continue to rely on to fuel their economy some manufacturers of teak furniture have taken to using recovered teak wood. I really like the fact that this beautiful table that we purchased is made from reclaimed wood.
Our table was created out of what looks like thick teak branches that might have fallen to the forest floor, and perhaps part of a tree trunk – hopefully one that had been cut many years in the past.
It has a very irregular shape, but it’s absolutely beautiful.
I don’t have any good photos of it right now, but I’m going to be refinishing the table shortly so I’ll take some before and after photos so you can see how weathered it looks after sitting in my garden through the summer and how I rejuvenate it each year with a coat of danish teak oil.
I just went looking online to see if I could find anything quite like it so I could show you how beautiful my table is, but I was unsuccessful. I can’t believe how hard it was to find anything remotely similar.
Sometime this week I’ll get my sanding paper out and lightly rub down the table with some fine sand paper, clean it off with a tack cloth and then oil it. It’s almost like magic how beautiful the table looks after I give it this treatment that perhaps only takes an hour of my time.
Have you ever refinished furniture that you own? Or perhaps furniture that you’ve purchased used, or at a flea market that needs refinishing before it can really be put to good use?
The great thing about teak is that it will last forever. Not only will you not need to ever replace it, but you can pass it down to the next generation, which is much friendlier to mother earth than disposable patio furniture.
