latifolia stretches from the sub-Himalayan tract to the southern tip of
India and some islands of Indonesia. It has been introduced to many other
countries. The sapwood of is pale yellowish-white often with a tinge of
purple. Heartwood varies in color from light golden brown to shades of
light purple with dark streaks, or deep purple with distant black lines.
The heartwood darkens with age and weighs about 850 kg per cubic meter.
The wood is very hard with no distinct annual rings. It is difficult to
work because of its high density. The wood is fragrant and commands a
high price. It is used to make premium-grade furniture, panelling, veneers,
and interior and exterior joinery. Secondary uses of the wood include;
knife handles, musical instrument calico-printing blocks, mathematical
instruments, agricultural implements, and boats keels and screws. Dalbergia

and boat building, teak wood is very durable and resistant to decay and
insects. It is of medium density, but its hardness varies and is easy
to carve. Teak is native to India, Burma and Thailand
