As Alan Kefauver mentioned, teak is available around the Annapolis area in 
thickness over 4/4.  But you might reconsider and stick with the 
4/4.  I  built new companionway boards last year to finished 3/4 size in 
rail & stile frames with louvers (now, they were a bear to do.) without any 
trouble. I had to make new slides, too, but even the originals were built 
to handle 3/4 boards.

(p.s. Alan: Teak is/was a little cheaper in Severna Park.)
