[C38] Teak

[Steve Smolinske]

Larry I varnished the inside and if I bad it to do over I would oil  easier to do maintenance also team at corner joints will crack and look ugly grrr proper way to repair dings is to sand and revarnish lots of work.  On the upside once varnished it will always look freshly oiled.

That prevents the wood from acting naturally and will be attacked from the inside from the teal oil and outside from the sun or other light. I had a number of drinks at Marina del Rey with an expert teak varnisher.
