Might be given some old teak chairs, for breaking up and turning, but looks quite thin, so limited as to what I can do.

Is teak any good for pens?

I've made a few pens from teak. It is a bit plain and so add something that contrasts with it. Be careful as it splinters very sharp shards but finishes very nicely.
