   Please comment on the teak tabli in the attached photo.  I know what to look for in selecting tun tabli wood but don't know about teak.  I understand that newer teak like this is markedly different from reclaimed Burmese teak and am not seeking guidance on that aspect. Thoughts on whether to approve this particular tabli would be appreciated.

Done except for jawari.  Note the location of the high tarab peg.
