Good discussion going on today.
MS,
When I look at the pic you posted, the teak has a kind of blonde apperance that seems to be in line with what we see on newer boats today. The teak I bought for the bulkhead replacements is darker. I did buy marine grade teak from Goosebay but it's nothing like the stuff they sold 30 year ago. The rest of the woodwork on the Sabre is almost a deep orange color, some from age & some from what the PO used for oil.
I tried the Watco oil on a couple of sample, (watco oil is great stuff) but the "finish"
doesn't come close to matching what's on the boat. I came up with the "gunstock" stain from walking thur a Home Depot one day. It is almost a perfect match with the existing wordwork in the boat.
So why do you think the Watco isn't giving me the same result? I've only tried the cherry flavor so far.
