I wonder how many of these teak products come from renewable, managed timber

Don't know but we have a few Teak benches at work and the maintenance
guy was just 'teak-oiling' them and it smelled just like Linseed Oil
to me.

I'd recommend Danish Oil - lots of yotties use it for teak decking and
it's
excellent.

I recently made some teak parts for my daughter's boat and did a
search on how to finish. Came accross this product Teakguard, Teak
Maintenance Kit (TGK016) athttp://www.MarineStore.com.- Hide quoted text -

Teak Oil is a product based on on tung oil and polymers not teak trees
so obviously it does not come from "...renewable, managed timber
sources.."

I have had fairly good luck with Sikkens Cetol Marine Natural Teak
finish. Cost about $25 qt. You must carefully follow the directions
for prep and apply all the coats specified. Be prepared for heartache.
Teak really hates being finished.

It *is* linseed oil plus a few other ingredients such as dryers.
