Are teak name boards good quality?
A hardwood, teak is one of the hardest, most robust, and most durable. These characteristics make it an excellent material for outdoor use. People have used teak in shipbuilding since the Middle Ages, and builders still use it today to build ships, yachts, and boats.
Is teak wood good for outdoors?
The natural weather resistance of teak makes it one of the most sought-after woods for outdoor use. Teak resists weather thanks to its natural oils, and it needs very little upkeep when left outside. Its density also makes it durable. Teak is an excellent choice for damp environments.
How long will teak name boards last?
Even when left exposed to the elements, teak can last for decades. Of course, with proper care, teak will last even longer. The Awlcraft finish lasts ten years before it needs to be sanded and recoated. If you do not feel comfortable handling this on your own, you can ship the boards back to us for service.
About the name Orion
In Greek mythology, Orion was a great hunter and the son of the sea god Poseidon. After his death, Zeus placed him in the sky as the constellation Orion, along with the scorpion that killed him. It is a fitting name for a yacht that travels the sea.
