i was told linseed oil, i have a carving from the lockerbie apf, 8 years ago, treated it once then havent bothered since, i like it weathered.

Have a big can of teak oil. I'll try that.

Very nice! Now finish it!

Don't you think teak oil will be a bit dark? If a light oil doesn't give the colour you want just do it again...and again...
