Ua ʻike mākou a pau, mai nā ʻike ma mua, ʻaʻole maikaʻi ka lāʻau no ka waho. ʻO ia no ka mea maʻamau ka lāʻau i ka hana ʻana i nā mea o waho e like me ka makū, nā ʻōpala, a me nā mea kanu. Hoʻopilikia kēia mau mea i ka lāʻau, ʻo ia ke kumu ʻaʻole mākou e hana maʻamau i kēia mea me waho.
Eia nō naʻe, he nui nā ʻano lāʻau like ʻole. Ma keʻano laulā, e ʻike ʻoe iā lākou i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia he lāʻau paʻa, a i ʻole he lāʻau palupalu. ʻAʻole kūpono ka lāʻau palupalu no waho. ʻOiai ke kau ʻia nā lako hale i loko, ʻaʻole lākou e lōʻihi. Akā he maʻalahi loa ka hana me lākou. No laila, inā noʻonoʻo lākou no kekahi mau makahiki pōkole wale nō, aia nō kahi mākeke ikaika no ia mau huahana. Hoʻohana wale nā mea kūʻai aku iā lākou no ko lākou ola a pau, a laila hoʻololi iā lākou me nā lako hou ma hope o kekahi mau makahiki.
Akā inā he mea nui ka paʻa iā ʻoe, pono ʻoe e nānā i ka lāʻau paʻa. No ka laʻana, i kekahi manawa ke noʻonoʻo nei ʻoe e kūʻai i kekahi mau lako no kāu māla. ʻOiai he māla ia, makemake ʻoe e nānā maoli nā lako i loko o ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana. ʻO ka pilikia, ʻaʻole hiki i nā ʻano lako āpau ke kūpono i loko o ka hoʻonohonoho māla. Hiki i ke kila a i ʻole ka palaki ke kū i nā mea o waho, akā he mau mea hana kanaka lākou a ʻaʻole lākou i loaʻa kēlā ʻano kūlohelohe. Me he mea lā ʻo ka lāʻau ke moho kūpono, no ka mea, ua hana ʻia mai nā mea kūlohelohe. Akā he mea paʻakikī loa ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi ʻano lāʻau e hiki ke lōʻihi ma waho.
I kekahi manawa, ʻo ia ke kumu e pipiʻi ai nā lako hale teak i kekahi manawa. He mea kū hoʻokahi loa ka Teak. Hoʻopuka ia i nā aila resinous kūlohelohe e kōkua i ka pale ʻana i ka makū mai ke komo ʻana i loko. Hana pū nā aila ma ke ʻano he mea pale pepeke a me nā mea kanu. Ma muli o kēia ʻano kūlohelohe, he mea kūpono ia no nā lako hale māla waho.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, aia kekahi mau koho ʻē aʻe, e like me ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e pale i ka lāʻau mai ka wai ma ke kau ʻana i ka ʻili me nā pena a me ka lacquer. Akā ʻo ka hana ʻana i kēlā e uhi maoli i nā ʻano kūlohelohe o ka lāʻau, kahi mea makemake ʻole ʻia no nā mea nona ka home he nui. Ma kēia ʻano, ʻo nā lako teak wale nō ke ʻano lako e hiki ke mālama i kona mau ʻano kūlohelohe, a hoʻonohonoho ʻia i loko o kahi kaiapuni waho.
ʻO kekahi pōmaikaʻi hoihoi o ka loaʻa ʻana o ka teak i loko o ka māla, ʻo ia ka mea e kōkua ai nā lako hale e hoʻokumu i kahi ʻano hoʻomaha. ʻO nā ʻāpana maikaʻi loa nā mea e kōkua ai i nā kānaka e hoʻomaha. No ka laʻana, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻāʻo e kūʻai i nā noho, nā noho, nā noho, nā papaʻaina, a i ʻole nā mokuahi. Inā lawa ka nui o kāu māla, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻokomo i kahi papa ʻaina piha i loko. I ka wā e noho ai ka ʻohana holoʻokoʻa i ka home no ka ʻaina ahiahi, a ke manaʻo nei e ʻae ke aniau, hiki iā ʻoe ke koho mau e ʻai i kāu mau meaʻai ma ka māla.
Ma muli o nā ʻano kūikawā o ka lāʻau teak, me he mea lā kūpono ke kumukūʻai o nā lako hale i hana ʻia mai nā ʻano mea ʻē aʻe. Akā ke kaupaona ʻoe i nā pono, pono ke uku ʻia ke kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe.
