Three years ago we bought some teak furniture - table, chairs and a Lutyens
style bench from a market. The price was far less than those in garden
centres or D-I-Y outfits at the time. I treated the wood with teak oil
but in time that attracted soot, dirt and pollen and went dark.
To get the colour back I have had to scrub and sand back to the original
wood and am now trying Danish Oil as the preservative.

Whoops, forgot the message.. which was:

If you haven't already bought the Danish Oil - check out Tung Oil or
Liberon Finishing Oil. These two should provide a better, more natural
finish - though they might be a good deal more expensive.
