owners commonly employ Teak oil to finish their woodwork.

I searched the net and found nothing about what it actually is. I did
find a price, $90 gal. Bet they won't respect you in the morning
either.

"Teak oil" isn't. It's usually either a highly diluted varnish, or natural
tung oil with or without dryers added.

Yep, but the label in marine stores (chandleries) is "Teak Oil". That
relabeling adds about $5.00/quart to the selling price.

Out of curiousity, do you know where Tung Oil originates? Is there a
"Tung" plant or tree?

Sure, Google...but this is a lazy day for me since my son arrived at
3:30 am from San Diego.
