Teak Sinks by William Garvey

Based in Devon, England, William Garvey makes sinks out of FSC-certified teak. People often ask if wooden bathroom sinks require a lot of maintenance. But apparently teak sinks are watertight, long lasting, very quiet and a longtime tradition in English butler's pantries. This sink is part of his Fusion line. He also makes baths and showers — see his full environmental statement here. :: William Garvey

No Burmese products are certified by any internationally recognised certification body including the FSC and Burmese teak is in fact banned in many countries including the US and Norway. If you want an FSC certified or even remotely environmentally friendly wooden bath, try:
