Hello, I believe that when talking about teak, many people have heard the word "Wacheng teak", so is Wacheng teak teak? Is it the same as the Brazilian teak, African teak and other woods that we mentioned before, just under the name of "teak" other woods?
Wacheng refers to Mandalay, the economic and cultural metropolis of Myanmar. Mandalay's proximity to Ava, the ancient capital of the Ava, Toungoo and Kampong dynasties, has led to the emergence of the name "Wacheng" among the large local Chinese community. The luxurious teak building "Golden Palace" is also located here, making the city and teak inextricably linked. The so-called "Wacheng teak" better quality, may also be related to this.
In fact, the industry said "Wacheng teak", not referring to the teak produced in Mandalay. Nowadays, the production of teak near Mandalay is very small, mainly for deep processing of teak. Most of the teak produced in Burma comes from areas such as Kegu. The term "Wacheng teak" is used to refer to the best natural teak that is produced in virgin forests, with high oil content, golden color and clear ink lines. The characteristics of this type of teak are very obvious, that is, the smooth ink line (black and gold line) and the noble and elegant golden color, which has become an important basis for judging the quality of teak.
At present, due to the ban on the export of teak from Thailand, Myanmar has become the main exporter of natural teak. Burma teak has always been a sought-after product in the teak market, and Wa Sung teak, the best of them, is synonymous with quality and taste. The production of superior teak is inseparable from the soil environment of Myanmar. Myanmar is rich in all kinds of ores, these buried rich ore soil for teak provides a variety of minerals, increasing the content of silica and other content in teak, so that Myanmar teak is rich in oil, but also part of the teak ink lines become elegant and delicate. Of course, such high quality teak is naturally rare. It is reported that less than 20% of Burma teak can grow black gold line (ink line), which also led to the high price of "Wacheng teak", and the production is not much, so many people tend to rush.
All in all, Wacheng teak is the real teak, and especially refers to the best natural Burma teak, pay attention to Telford, see more and wood-related knowledge!
