    Hello all. I posted some months back about some Niels Koefed chairs that I have and plan to sell. I am *finally* getting around to doing the selling. I have a question:

    From the photos, can someone tell me if these are Teak or Rosewood? (There is apparently a price/market difference.)

    Yes, both threads make it clear these definitely look to be made of teak, not rosewood. I think the density would only help if we knew the volume of the wood in the chair. Works great with silver - dunk the whole piece in water - but I can't imagine it for furniture!
