Tigerwood decking
Tigerwood deck boards are the most dramatic of all the exotic hardwoods. Tigerwood has many of the same features that the other exotic hardwood decking materials have, but it also has dramatic coloration. Tigerwood is a light golden brown (some boards are a little more red), with much darker brown and black streaks. Tigerwood only gets prettier with age. It deepens with exposure and age and even the plainer-looking wood has a natural luster. It's also sold to homeowners who are looking for a less expensive alternative to teak.
