   Good ol' Norm made this one on his show awhile back.  Can't remember if he used teak or cypress.

   Should be some chairs around somewhere to go with it.

   Popular Mechanics has two, either of which would probably work well in teak:

   Woodsmith magazine has also had a couple that would be nice in Teak. I'm finishing up one now out of Spanish Cedar from issue #75. (They used either Red Cedar or Redwood, I forget.) The table has an octagon shaped top with 4 quadrants infilled with slats about 2" wide. I used a router trammel to make mine round rather than octagonal. (Probably makes it look more like the one Norm built.) The plans are VERY detailed and well illustrated. You can probably buy just the plan, but you may as well buy the issue instead and get a few other plans as well. (Unless you want to get all the hardware from them, I see no advantage to buying the plan over the back issue.) All the issues back to #1 are still available as back issues from Woodsmith.

   Not the best picture, but here's a cover pic of issue #75 showing the table:

   A couple of years ago Norm did a show building a round table with a lazy susan in the middle.  The lazy susan turns on a long central spindle that goes through a hole in the middle of the table and rides in a wooden cup at the junction of crossed leg spreaders.  I modified the legs of his plan (my duplicating lathe was out for adjustments that week) and built it out of slightly less noble wood than teak.  It's been a success out on my back porch for some time now.  You're on your own for the chairs.
