Mahogany Credenza

We are often privileged enough to meet and help special customers. This Credenza was made by a unique customer for a touching reason. G. Guy Made this beautiful piece of work out of Genuine Mahogany Wood from Trinidad for his daughter as a wedding gift. We didn’t just hand select perfect Mahogany boards, we carefully chose the ones that had small knots that possessed uniform grain. It wasn’t an easy task but we were glad to do it when we found out what the Mahogany Wood was for. Mr. Guy drove across the state to collect his Mahogany Lumber we picked out for his project.

Teak Butcherblock Countertop

The couple we did this Teak Butcher Block Counter-Top project for was initially quoted an unimaginable price by another Teak supplier. They came to us for a more affordable alternative. We recommended they use Trinidad Teak Wood. Their request was for a unique piece of wooden art to use as their kitchen island counter top. We hand selected the most unique pieces of Trinidad Teak wood we had and got right to work!

Spanish Cedar Pool Fence

Francis and Rasheeda needed to give their pool deck a fresh new look before their annual New Year’s Eve Party. The original pool fence was manufactured using pressure treated pine. Over time it began to decay and rot. After close inspection we determined that the 4×4 posts were still in good condition. We suggested re-coating the the posts with an oil-based paint and replace the cross-members using Spanish Cedar Wood since it was a light weight durable exotic wood.

Surfaced FEQ Burmese Teak

Yes! CaribTeak.com supplies Rough Sawn or Surfaced FEQ Burmese Teak Wood. These bundles of Surfaced FEQ Burmese Teak Wood were part of a larger order for our client based in Hawaii. This particular project called for Surfaced FEQ Burmese Teak Wood for handrail on a sky rise featuring luxury residences, as well as for trellis’s. Size mattered greatly, with each piece milled to 8/4 (2″ thick) x 8″ wide. Our team was able to pull the exact amount of material the client needed and surface all four sides in a matter of a few days. They inspected each piece during the entire process to ensure quality and consistency in our milling and cutting process. Once completed, the Surfaced FEQ Burmese Teak is heat wrapped and ready for shipment.
