Painting a teak dresser?

Dec 30, 2004 3 Replies

Greetings:



I have a teak dresser which I am hoping to match to other wenge furniture. Should I paint it? Stain it? Or forget about the whole idea?



Thanks. Ariela



Teak is an oily wood and will not take paint well.

I suggest charring it with a propane torch.

My neighbor painted the teak mantel in his house. We shot him and the horse he rode in on.

And don't stop there - let it burn.
