Thanks Dan for the great video! I wish that I would have seen it before starting my project. My question is: Does the sanding make a difference in the absorption of the oil? I've power washed the furniture (looks fantastic!), but oiled a couple of pieces before sanding. The oil has absorbed pretty uneven and I'm not liking the look at all. Or, is it because I should have applied the oil more liberally and it only needs reapplication. After the powerwash, the grain is not fuzzy wood at all as that Tom G had commented. Look forward to your reply.

can you add varnish on top of the oil? Or skip the oil and just put varnish??

I'm off to buy a small electric sander. Just so I'm clear on how much to sand....I'm so sand until the surface is smooth or deeper to even the color completely?

Folks, this is a perfect example of what not to do with teak. Power washing almost always leads to raised grain, fuzzy wood, and worse. "Teak oil" does not contain teak oil; it is usually linseed oil and/or tung oil, and provides food for future mold. There are much better finish products. I won't mention them, because I am not shilling for them. Do a bit of research and you will see what I mean. All wood furniture looks nice after fresh oil (at least in the video) but it won't for long Sanding is okay if necessary, which it would be after power washing.
