All,
I've heard stories about teak oil causing people to get sea sick, so
I've stayed away from it down below. I do use teak products for the wood (as
little as there is) on deck.
For the interiors, as Rich says, the wood is already in great shape. We
rub in some orange oil from the supermarket and get rich season-long results.
All the best,
Edd
