The thickness of the teak is 20 mm, the teak wood are left overs of fineer cutting factory..........they always source the nice planks
The good thing is their machine holding the planks has to hold some grip and renews the planks at 1' thickness.......I have a stack of them and use them for everything ,and the price is good and the factory is glad that somebody buys their waste.
