Re: Teak Boarding steps
Places like this usually have new teak, but also have bins of used teak. I bet you could find what you need at a place like these if nearby.

Re: Teak Boarding steps
Maybe a suggestion, could you put two together, cut and butt joint, it would be a bit longer but,.... and like has been mentioned some teak boards and a router if you are handy with wood working tools.

You might have to call around for a few (or ask around) because there's only ONE great lumberyard in my area that handles some nice teak and nice mahogany. There might be others but I've never run across them. Some of the small "Woodcraft" type shops have some bins with various "exotic" lumber and many have teak, but it gets pretty pricey going that way.
With all the shipping getting ridiculously cheap (at least from the vendor side), you might even see if it's economical to order and have shipped. One place that I did order a bunch of great teak from was http://www.condonlumber.net/

Re: Teak Boarding steps
In stripping down and refinishing the handrails in the Aft we discovered everything is actually Red Oak. We've recoated with Total Boat Halcyon Gloss and Amber and everything is coming out beautiful.
As for the treads I'm going to try their Penetrating Epoxy (Yeah I know I said it LOL). It's worked GREAT in some areas that were getting punky and the bow hatch that was in sad shape.
