'''Teak planks''' are used in the [[Construction]] [[skills|skill]] to make moderately high level furniture. Each teak plank gives 90 experience points (so if an item uses two teak planks, players will gain 180 [[Experience]]).

Teak planks are made by taking [[teak logs]] to the [[sawmill]] northeast of [[Varrock]] and asking the sawmill operator to convert the logs into planks, at the cost of 500 coins per teak plank. Players can send their [[servant]] to the sawmill, but it will still cost the 500 coins per plank.

15 teak planks are a possible prize from the [[Squeal of Fortune]]. When choosing the option to convert this prize to coins, players receive 4500 coins, which is {{formatnum:{{#expr:{{GEP|Teak plank}}*15- 4500}}}} less than selling them on the Grand Exchange.

==Profit==
Teak planks can be used to make a profit. Oak planks' pure profit would be 5 coins less than Teak planks.

Here is the breakdown:

*Cost of [[Teak logs|Teak log]]: {{GEPriceUpdate|teak logs}}.
*Cost to make Teak Plank: 500 coins.
*Teak Plank sells for: {{GEPriceUpdate|Teak plank}}.
*Profit would be approximately: {{#expr: {{:Exchange:Teak plank|View=price}} - {{:Exchange:Teak logs|View=price}} - 500}} coins per log.
*Profit would be: {{#expr: ({{:Exchange:Teak plank|View=price}} - {{:Exchange:Teak logs|View=price}} - 500)*28}} coins per trip.

'''Note: Prices change frequently, so check ''RuneScape''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Grand Exchange Prices for more precise details.'''

'''Note: Another way to make profit would be to cut down teaks, get two special logs, which come randomly, and trade those in at the saw mill plus 26 teak logs for 26 planks. That's 13 plank fees per special log. Thus each special log is worth up to 6500 coins. '''

==Tips==
Try to wear the least armour and try to keep low weight. [[Boots of lightness]], [[spotted cape|spotted]] or [[spottier cape]]s and/or [[Penance gloves]] can be helpful for this, as are [[wicked robes]].

If players have access to the [[Balloon transport system]] they may use it to make [[Planks]] quickly. Start at [[Castle Wars]], using the Bank chest, and use the balloon to travel between there and the [[Varrock]] [[Sawmill]]. Due to weight restrictions, players may only carry about 18 logs to be made into planks at a time (as well as the money to make the planks and the [[Willow logs]] for the transport and a [[Ring of duelling]] to return to Castle Wars. Players can take the maximum 26 logs per trip by using [[Weight-reducing clothing|Weight-reducing equipment]].

Note: [[Summoning familiars|Familiars]] can be used on the balloon transport system.

==Use in Construction Training==

Teak planks can be used for [[Construction]] training. Pieces of furniture between level 35 and 65 often require teak planks to be built. Teak is expensive though, so buying loads of teak planks to train is uncommon. If teak planks are used, people usually make flat-packs of [[teak armchair|teak chairs]] and then eventually, [[teak dining table]]s, which is a popular way of levelling [[Construction]]. Each teak plank is worth 90 Construction experience, so the maximum experience per inventory available is 2160 for 6 dining tables. This can be doubled to 4320 if using [[Sacred clay hammer]]s, which is recommended to save 50% of the cost of training.
