Teak wood has been admired for centuries for its beautiful look and high durability. Teak has a high oil content, making it naturally resistant to moisture, light, and heat, and is often used for boats, houses, and furniture. Danica Heirloom’s Reclaimed Teak products are handcrafted in Bali, Indonesia, using the stumps and roots that remain once the rest of the tree has been harvested for larger projects. The resilient nature of this wood is perfect for these unique kitchen accessories, which will stand the test of time and add organic beauty and warmth to any home. Taking care of your Reclaimed Teak items will preserve their beautiful colour and help them last for years to come. Wash Teak products by hand and do not soak in water. Allow them to air dry thoroughly and use any natural, food-safe oil - such as olive, lemon, or coconut - to restore sheen and prevent fading or cracking.
