Our Core Specialization
Quartercut teak selected for demanding yacht decking
Quartercut teak, also known internationally as quarter-sawn teak or quarter cut teak, is selected for the straight vertical grain associated with premium yacht decking.
The cutting orientation provides greater dimensional stability across the width of the board and creates a more uniform visual appearance than conventional flat-sawn material.
Nauteaka focuses on professional supply where grain orientation, dimensions, machining, consistency, documentation and project requirements matter as much as the timber species itself.
Standard decking is available in
10 mm, 23 mm and 27 mm thicknesses,
with widths from approximately
50, 65, 100, 130 and 155 mm.
Custom requirements and lengths up to
3000 mm
can be discussed according to material availability.

Legality & Traceability
Legal timber supply is part of the specification
For professional international buyers, timber legality and traceability are fundamental parts of the purchasing process, not optional additions.
Nauteaka coordinates the documentation required for legal Indonesian timber exports and works around the certification requirements defined at the beginning of each project.
SVLK legality documentation for Indonesian timber exports
FSC® sourcing options according to project and material availability
Traceability and shipment documentation
Export preparation for professional international orders
Certification requirements reviewed before order confirmation
Official reference: Indonesia SILK / SVLK FSC Chain of Custody
Specify documentation from the beginning.
If FSC® material, specific traceability documents or destination-related documentation are required, they should be included in the original project specification.
This allows material sourcing, availability and documentation requirements to be aligned before the order proceeds.

Quartercut Teak FAQ
Common questions from professional teak buyers
What is quartercut teak decking?
Quartercut teak is teak sawn so the growth rings are oriented
predominantly perpendicular to the board face. This creates
the straight vertical grain and dimensional stability preferred
for high-quality yacht decking.
Is quartercut teak the same as quarter-sawn teak?
Yes. Quartercut teak, quarter cut teak and quarter-sawn teak
are commonly used internationally for the same general cutting
orientation. Terminology varies between buyers and markets.
Can Nauteaka supply custom dimensions?
Yes. Standard quartercut teak dimensions are available, and
custom dimensions and profiles can be discussed according
to project requirements and material availability. Custom
lengths can reach up to approximately 3000 mm.
Can Nauteaka supply FSC® quartercut teak?
FSC® sourcing options can be discussed according to project
requirements and material availability. Buyers requiring
certified material should specify this when requesting a quotation.
What is the typical lead time?
Typical lead time is approximately 14 weeks. Final timing
depends on dimensions, order volume, availability, machining,
certification and project requirements.
