Java wood is a wood you may know this wood by it's more common name: Teak wood. Teak (Tectona grandis) is a tropical hardwood species placed in the family Lamiaceae. If you have birds, you may already have pieces of java wood laying around. Birds enjoy chewing on it to help sharpen their beaks and the wood is so hard that it's a long-lasting way to keep pets occupied.  Since it's naturally smooth, not a lot of work has to go into shaping toys or chews. In fact, the shape makes it pretty much perfect for a dog chew.
