either mahogany or teak.


Some of the finest furniture ever built was made of mahogany. Some of
the finest patio furniture ever built is made of teak.

Just my opinion but teak is way way down the beauty scale from
mahogany. I've never really considered it a nice material for
furniture but rather boat decks and deck chairs.

Again, all opinion.

Also, mahogany is a dream to work with.


And much less expensive than teak. I just picked up some
4/4 RGH mahogany 8" x 144" for less than USD6 BF (Jackel Hardwoods
in watsonville) !Not Luan, either; this is the good stuff.
