[C38] Teak oil or varnish/urethane?

[dpooch]

Mr. Duff
       I have tried them all over the years and well I met a guy that is a cabinet maker. He helped me by cutting out a lot of new parts for my boat. And how to go to a hardwood lumber yard and purchase ruff cut lumber. He figured how many board feet I needed and when he finished we had little more than saw dust left over. A real craftsman at work I sure can not do it.
      So to make a long story a little shorter he said I should use Watco Danish Oil Finish. Here is a website about it.   http://www.woodworking.com/wwtimes_oilfinish.cfm
   
  I did it a little different. After I got the surface like I wonted it I would paint the stuff on rubdown with steel wool let dry a little. You will figure this one out by how hard it is to get off. Then hand buff off with lent free cloth. I did lets just say lots of coats. It is cool stuff nothing like what you get at a boat store. I have a new set of hand rails for deck here at the house I did this way I can photo and send. Oh one last thing for sure your rub down rags never wad them up and pile them up. This stuff will spontaneously combust. I would spread mine out flat one by one on saw horses.

      I need to refinish all of my exterior wood; hand rails, hatch boards, hatch sliders, locker trim... and was wondering what everyone else has done.  Did you oil everything or use a varnish/urethane?  Oil some and varnish the rest?  Thanks.
