Finish for Teak

Roger

I came across some Teak blanks 4 x4x 14 that I had stored away (misplaced). I'm thinking goblets, lidded boxes etc. I need some suggestions for finishes for the teak.

Depends on the teak, and I guess the oil. I don't think the plantation teak is as difficult to finish as the old growth I used when younger. But I'd have trouble with oil drying in the old days.

Difficult to answer without knowing how durable and useable finish you want.

More for looks than use.
