In September I worked out a deal for my previous boat (a Tollycraft) with good friend to install new Teak & Holly cabin sole in my 36' Sport Cruiser.
Here is the reason I went with oil instead of clearcoat... its easier to repair scratches
My buddy insists I apply 8 coats of oil sanded into the woodgrain. Here goes the first coat (5 more to go as of now)
Glad I did this... I think it adds the WOW factor I was looking for. My next winter project is a new settee, galley, cabinets and teak veneer throughout the salon.
