Guccification is on the list, but way down. I love all wood. Thanks for the heads up. I was thinking of tung oil but didn`t know about possible compatibility issues w gelcoat. Old timers on the Cape used to soak their bundles of cedar shingles in linseed oil for a month.Those are the naturally brunette houses to this day. Papa taught me that. He also told me I`d never be to old for a shovel....Nothing wrong w/ gray teak for now after a good sanding. Someone also told me never to use steel wool. Makes sense now. The older I get the smarter he gets.
