If you ask me what my favorite wood species is, I would say teak. It contains a lot of oil, is resistant to water, and does not warp easily. It has a good balance of hardness and flexibility, making it an excellent wood. Teak also has the distinctly different moist feel from other woods, and develops a deep, lustrous red color over time. When wood is cut, a distinctive scent, such as sweet or sour, fills the workshop, depending on the species of wood. The scent of teak is sharp and sharp, yet heavy and soft. It's hard to describe, but out of all the different types of wood, I like the scent of teak the best. The powder that comes out when you shave it is also clearly different from other wood species. Usually it is dry, but teak is chewy and has so much oil that you can squeeze it and make it hard. However, this oil is a nuisance for craftsmen, as it clings to blades and quickly dulls them. Machine blades and hand tools such as planes must be repeatedly sharpened as the craftsman continues, but the finished teak wood surface is so smooth and comfortable that all that hard work is forgotten. Nowadays, it is rare to even see high-quality blush. So when I happen to get one by some chance, I get excited thinking about how I can make use of it. Teak is such a wood.
