THINNING
Teak requires a lot of light and suffers when suppressed. The crown of the tree requires freedom on all sides for proper development. It grows best when plants are of a similar size and are regularly and heavily thinned, particularly in the first half of the rotation. The growth should be monitored regularly and thinning should start before the stand is suppressed. In a thinned plantation, the crop should look distinctly open, and individual crowns should have clear space all round. Normally, trees with the best crown development and stem-form should be retained and they should be evenly spaced, even if this means the sacrifice of some other trees with good crowns and straight trunks. All trees with poorly developed crowns and stems should be removed provided this will not result in permanent canopy gaps (Kadambi 1972).
USES
Teak possesses excellent properties and as such it has a very wide range of uses, including flooring, decking, framing, cladding, fascias and barge boards. In the decorative line it can be used for lining, panelling, turnery, carving, furniture (both indoor and outdoor) and parquetry.
Teak is perhaps best known for its long established use in the boat building industry. It has been extensively used for decking, deck houses, rails, bulwarks, hatches, weather doors and planking. It is also used for cooperage, pipes, and chemical vats (Hart 1973).
