Teal or Rosewood Bathroom vanity top

That is a figment of a fertile imagination.

There is no such thing as a good protective finish for real teak, even Thai teak, which is protected these days.

There is a whole industry that produces "sheep dip" to protect teak in a marine environment. None of it really works.

Ultimately, people either sell the boat, remove the teak, or let it weather gray.

IMHO, a bathroom vanity top is a very poor use of good teak.

For your application, don't know what to suggest, but not teak.

I don't have a clue.

Just curious, why wood?

Are you describing something that is already installed, and you want to redo the finish?

I thought it was just my system needed rewhacking IRT rec.woodworking.

Mebbe not?

BTW, is this a preinstalled wood counter you're describing?

It is not preinstalled. It is a stand alone piece of furniture which we will mount the sink into and the faucets will be wall mounted.

The fact you like it works for me.

It out weighs everything else.

Forget trendy.

I'd probably build using the hardwood of choice with a laminated top from something like Corian or equal, maybe even granite.
