Another 2 cents. I would use penetrating epoxy on them. It soaks into the wood and seals everything (not to mention looks exceptional). Since the epoxy isn't UV protected, cover it with 3 or 4 coats of varnish. You may have to clean and reapply the varnish as usual, but the penetrating epoxy will last for life and keep the wood sealed.

Just doing the teak handrails. They are coming up quite well BUT do I epoxy and then 3-4 coats of varnish or just put the varnish on an skip the epoxy?
