if you're good with wood, check the local docks, find one that is renovating and check the dumpster, the epe'( not sure on the spelling) wood the make the docks out of makes a good substitute for teak, its actually harder than teak. It is hard on the saw blade. Check the wood close, there is a composit decking material out ther that looks just like the wood, its so close the only way i can tell the difference is the real stuf gives nasty splinters before you sand it
