What is MP/ Nagpur Teak?

One of the most esteemed types of teak wood is MP (Madhya Pradesh), CP (Central Province), Nagpur teak, or Indian teak wood. Renowned among top teak wood suppliers in India, it thrives in India’s ancient forests. While the quality of Indian teak wood rivals that of Burmese teak wood, global availability remains scarce due to high demand within India.

MP/CP/Nagpur teak displays pale yellow sapwood and heartwood ranging from golden to medium brown, its hue deepening over time. Typically characterized by straight grain, occasional variations include wavy or interlaced patterns, as noted by wood suppliers in India. Infused with natural oils, Indian teak boasts an inherently oily or greasy texture.

Workability

MP/CP/Nagpur teak wood is simple to deal with. This Indian teak has natural oils that shield the wood from the weather. The wood surface appears glossy or oily as a result of the presence of this natural oil. Typically, Indian teak glues, polishes beautifully, and is simple to carve. Nearly all teak species produce beautiful finishes when finished.

Sustainability

Of all the trees in India, teak has the greatest ability to store carbon. However, tropical teak forests and their biodiversity can suffer significant harm from improper or illegal logging techniques. Teak trees may be grown more sustainably in plantations, especially when agroforestry techniques are used.
