two things about teak.. its going to wear your tools quickly.. make sure that you keep them good and sharp..

also wear eye and lung protection with teak.. it has silica (of some sort in it ) and can be rough on the lungs..

other wise it should turn fine.. and you should be able to make
some nice plugs out of it..

i got some mahogany deck scraps over the weekend.. i should be able to make some nice swimmers with them..

I heard somewhere that piping plover is indian for "tastes like chicken" ..
