[C38] Teak oil or varnish/urethane?

[Jan Pitesa]

I too, have used Danish Oil, for several years now.  You can get a mirror
finish and it can be we sanded which will fill the grain and cracks with
the oil and the woods own sawdust, which helps vs sanding the wood smooth.

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.

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.

  More to say but I owe I owe so off to work I go.

 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.
