Thanks! It was my first time working with Teak. I expected it to be really hard and dense but it was actually pleasant to work with. I’ve never worked with such an oily wood. The dust sort of just clumps together

No such thing as scrap wood, especially if it’s Teak. Nice repurpose. Those angled DTs rock it.

Nice looking work. It is a nice match to the Bonsai.

Great job! Gives me some ideas for some of my left over Teak! Teak makes some real nice pens, especially when cut to 45 degree blanks.

Very nice work, & excellent re-use of the teak! It reminds me that I have a bunch of teak pieces from some old outdoor chairs that broke, just need to find a project for them.
