I get Watco Teak oil from Home Depot or Lowes. It seems to be very consistent and thinner than typical marine products. One pint can has served me well for many years. I wipe down all the interior wood each spring with Pinesol in a handspray bottle and let it dry. (strategy is to kill any mold spores, while cleaning) It has made a huge difference in the look and smell of the boat. Later, I wipe a little Watco Teak Oil on a terry cloth rag and let it soak into the wood, then wipe off any excess. Gives a nice satin sheen. My only complaint is that the wood has to be above 50 degrees, so this task can't be reasonably done in my boat until March or April.

On my new cabinets I've use Watco Danish Teak Oil ( which my friend who does wooden boat restoration says is the very best you can buy) and one or two coats on the new teak exactly matches the old factory. All the teak on my 38 mkII is oiled, not stained and varnished. I have been using Starbright teak oil from WM to maintain the teak on both the 25 and the 38, but wil use Watco in the future. Particularly since I found someone who sells quarts on EBay for half the local price and less than the Starbright.

The old guy at the Lumberworld on Quadra took one look at it and reached for the Watco Danish Oil Cherry and it matched perfectly on the unstained back of an original piece. Likely they used that product to get more consistent color across the varying teak tones. I used it on my last little teak project – 1 or 2 coats – excellent results.

I have our companionway steps home for refinishing, and have just had to sand through a layer of what appears to be mahogany(ish) stain to get to the bare teak. Looking around the boat, it looks like it may have the stain on every teak surface. Anyone know anything about what particular stain they used?
