Teak as a tone wood

[Rob Mercure]

Folks,

I've managed to come across sufficient teak - used, re-planable boards - to craft 4-5 D style top/back sets (maybe more once replaned) - much of it is quartersawn. Has anyone explored teak for these purposes - the only references I can find are for sitar construction but teak does seem to have many characteristics of denser guitar woods.

Just wondering what the best use of this stuff is.

Had to look up "Narra" - more commonly known as "padauk" and seemingly common from what I read - no personal experience.

don't know that it'sonsidered a true padauk but the taptone was/is phenomenal!
