I will not say this part of the particle board is correct, BUT, the outer layer of teak is not a full layer cut from the log as in the past, The inner plys are cut from a log and glued accordingly. The outer layer is a for lack of better term a particle base. BUT, it is all teak that has been put together to get the current horizontal look and feel that GB uses in there lines. To me it has a bit of a plasticized wood look. IIRC it is a combo teak and epoxy to make sure it will last vs partical style boards most of us are used to for shelving, behind some interior products etc.
