Both Teak and Eucalyptus provide excellent wood for furniture. While there are a few similarities, they are vastly different in appearance, cost and availability.Teak furniture is made of wood from the teak tree and is a dense, course-textured wood with a high oil content. It has a strong scent and is known for it's weather-resistance. It naturally deters termites.
Eucalyptus furniture is made of wood from the eucalyptus tree. Originally native to the East Coast of Australia, it is now grown in Southern US and South America. It is a reasonably priced alternative to Teak and 10-20% more dense. It earns high marks for strength, durability and offers excellent weathering characteristics. It is pinkish brown in color and turns to a reddish-brown with age and exposure to light. It's resistance to decay is relative to Teak wood.
