Lots of teakwood

[Vott1]

So, I have a whole case of teakwood boards 3" by 9" that were given to me, and I've been trying to think up things to do with them other than ornaments.  This was my first idea, but I'm open to suggestions.

Well Kip, I think projects like this one is a good use for the teak. It won't go bad, so keep it for a special project. You could always build boxes with it, they seem to sell for others.

Glue and compress together for bigger pieces .I just glued some planned down to 1/8 cedar and glued and are very strong too.then you can use it as you do all your other scroll work ,copy paper size.

They would make beautiful balancing wine bottle holders.

You could also make some toy cars that would be really appealing to the eye.

Good luck and God Bless! Spirithorse

Some of the intersecting word projects would look good on that.

Not sure how much is in a case but it sounds like a bunch.  There are all kinds of things you can do with that, have fun and go for it.

Thanks Len, I think I am going to try at least one box at the full 3 by 9 length and maybe flock the inside

Thanks Kevin, I am curious to see how spirals will do with this stuff. The boards are tapered on the edges, but a flush trim bit should solve that, so I probably will give this a shot

Glue a few pieces together then make a trivet. Save some for segmented work.

Thank you for all the great comments and suggestions! What great folks we have here in the village!

Nice work never cut teakwood but i heard its used alot for marine use.so if theres any marinas or boating around you do something of that nature.im sure that would go over well.
