Why do you want to put teak oil on your table. Is it for cosmetic

And that dramatic statement is based on what facts..........?

We've got a rather expensive (Hartman) teak table BP. The instructions
clearly state that putting teak oil on the table will not extend it's life.
Without the oil it will turn a grey colour but will last just as long.

Having said that I *do* put teak oil on the table cos it looks *so* much
nicer - yep - just cosmetic I suppose !
