Which face of my ply is Teak?

[dedwards]

Hi all,
I've recently bought some teak faced ply but don't know which face is the teak. Can anybody enlighten me? Photo of the two faces should be attached.
Thanks

Lower.

He's right.

Yes the lower


Take care it'll only be a very thin decorative veneer. Sneeze and it'll be gone.

The top one is a cheap balancer on the reverse side and is probably Makore, a west african hardwood

Thanks everyone.

Can I ask where you got the ply from, what thickness and how much?

I got some 12 mm marine ply (one side teak) from Robbins of Bristol, recently. A quarter sheet was about £60!!! I was able to collect, but I believe they do deliver.

I got it from Robbins, Take note of their Teak faced ply special offers (on their website) as they've got a few sheets going for a really good price. And yes, Robbins do deliver (costs in the region of 20 odd quid for 1 sheet delivered).
