Wish it was for a boat..... Actually just for some bath accessories that I
made out of cutoffs. I don't want a thick shiny look.

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.
