Teak Wood
Teak wood is the substance used for making the Indian sitar, it comes from the tree, Tectona Grandis. It is highly durable even when not treated with oil or varnish.
Much of the teak cultivated is exported to Indian Countries.
As well as making the sitar, teak is also used extensively
in India to make doors and window frames, furniture, and columns and beams in
old type houses. It is also very resistant to termite attacks. Teak has been cultivated in The Caribbean Islands.
Forestation in the Caribbean Islands

Though there is efforts to preserve forestry, some islands make more progress than others. In the Caribbean the The Bahamas have the highest forest area per capita, whereas Barbados has one of the lowest.
