Hi

I am thinking of buying some teak furniture

I hope you'll check where the teak comes from (FSC logo is a good enough
recommendation).

They don't seem to mention it, which might mean that their teak is
obtained by clear-felling rain forests. *In the process most of the
wildlife is destroyed, the unusable small branches burned (adding to
global warming) and the earth left in a state where it produces a few
good crops - then washes out to sea,leaving a wet desert useless for
anything, neither the environment nor the local residents.

Hi Andy

FSC - is a good question!
They do talk about "sustainable sources"
http://www.wessexteak.com/product.asp?v06VQ=FKI

All made from the finest plantation teak imported from sustainable forestry sources ...

There again words are cheap!
I'll email them for better proof.
