Default working with teak

I am planning to build an entertainment center from either mahogany or teak.
I have read that teak is hard on your scraping type tools like a planer or a
jointer. I assume this is due to the sand in the teak. Has anyone in this
group made something from teak? If so, was the work hard on your scraping
tools? Teak would be my first choice but not if I have to sharpen my
scraping tools a few times during the project.

TIA.
