Zambezi Teak, characteristically of many African hardwoods, is
exceptionally hard and durable. In 1952 a worldwide enquiry was
instituted that explored every possible timber to find the most
suitable material for making the floors of the London Corn Exchange.
It had to be of particular hardness and durability because of the heavy
use to which it would be put and the damaging effect of the corn
kernels ground underfoot. After much deliberation and a series of
stringent tests, a decision was reached to make the floors out of
Zambezi Teak. Zambezi Teak was proven to be the hardest and most
durable wood in the world for this purpose. It has been extensively
used for railway sleepers (ties), but very seldom for fine furniture
because of the great difficulties in working it. We at Savanna Wood
have developed methods of work to handle this magnificent but steely
hard timber.
