All wood used in making our teak garden benches is taken from the heartwood of the tree, where most of the naturally water and weather-resistant oils are found. This also produces the most even coloring and wood grain free of blemishes for a polished look that lasts, season after season.
All Ash & Ember teak wood is sourced from legally managed plantations in Indonesia where the trees are farmed as a renewable resource, never from natural forests.
Over time, teak outdoor benches develop a soft silver-gray patina that signals quality, not wear. This natural aging process happens as the wood responds to sunlight, air, and rain, creating a weathered finish that many consider part of its charm.
The wood's structure stays strong, even as the color shifts, so you never have to worry about cracking or splintering. To preserve the original coloring, we suggest oiling your teak outdoor bench periodically.
Not all teak benches are built the same – and none are crafted quite like Ash & Ember's.
