Or, how about Iroko. I use it instead of teak on my Ingrid 38, for rail caps
and interior trim. It was $3.55/bf from EdenSaw, here is WA.

Here are a couple pictures of sections of the caprail and rudder cheeks.

It is admittedly dark, compared to Burmese teak but I like it. It would be
lighter if I got the Cetal on before the surface darkened.

Iroko doesn't bend well and if you leave it to weather naturally, it doesn't
do as well as teak. Interior trim, that I haven't vanished or sealed yet,
continue to darken to almost a walnut color.

In this picture I show a teak door with Iroko trimmed frame.

The arched beam in the foreground is Iroko.
