Anatomical properties of Teak wood produced in Pakistan on trial basis and that of internationally traded were studied in wood anatomy laboratory at Pakistan Forest Institute, Peshawar to observe variations. Results revealed that Teak wood grown in Indonesia, Burma, India and Pakistan are almost comparable in anatomical properties with minor variations. In Burmese and Indian Teak the fibers were comparatively longer, narrow or thick walled and the wood may be relatively better in strength. The vessels were higher in frequency or larger in size in Indonesian and Burmese Teak for the reason the wood may be comparatively easy to season. The wood rays were lower in frequency or smaller in size in Indonesian and Indian Teak due to that the wood may be somewhat more durable among the studied wood samples.
