I'll try to be brief...
I picked up a 2005 M92 Yugo Krink kit and from what I read, the new furniture that came with it was teak (huge assumption on my part). My question is what my best bet is for sealing/protecting the HG that is compatable with the wood (ie. tung oil, Deft, Spar, etc). I like the natural blondness of the wood so I won't be staining them.

I only ask since I know teak has a lot of natural oils and I'm just not sure on how to work with it.

Thanks in advance

Watco makes a product called Teak Oil.  It is used on Teak and other woods.  I thought I would try it because they were out of Tung Oil.  Works very well and I use it on Walnut, Laminate, Birch and beech.  The 2005 M92 I built had beech handguards and I smoothed them out and put on 4 coats of the Teak Oil and finished them off with Minwax Paste Finishing Wax.  Turned out very nice.

Go to Academy Sports andby the teak oil kit for boats. No need to put a clear coat on it, if it starts looking dingy, just clean and reapply. Teak is very easy to care for.
