Greetings All, What is the best way to put a natural looking finish on teak? I don't want a poly finish that sits on the surface, rather something that will soak in. Thanks, Mark

Are we talking boat teak or Ikea teak?
If a boat, Cetol may work for you.
No suggestions for Ikea.

Linseed oil Tung oil Mixtures of the two (mostly linseed)... Behr tung oil finish et al Mixtures of the two with a tad of varnish... Watco et al
Thanks All, I realized that I had a can of Watco Rejuvinating Oil at work for my wood tool boxes and decided to give it a try. It's exactly the look I am after. Not glossy, and it soaks in after every coat. The teak grain really POPS after oiling.
