Laminating/gluing small pieces of teak for decking.

[Willbe84]

Hello,

I have a few 40cm grade A and B pieces of wood with grain that is not vertical of quarter sawn. Will it be possible to sandwich pieces together to get the my desired width and lenght? I will later cut 6mm strips and use it for decking on my boat.

I understand that the grain colour and pattern will not match when the pieces are glued together, but this might be a better alternative to poor man's teak iroko and it is what I currently have in stock

As teak doesnt glue well i think you are on a hiding to nothing, You would also need to use a UV resistant glue, that rules out epoxy.
