[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 300158, member: 7544"] If you've eliminated everything down to just those 2 options, I don't think there's any question that it should be teak for a wet environment. After all, if the Navy chose that to go on their ships back when there was still wood used in some of them, you know it's good for marine use. If you're not laminating multiple pieces together to achieve the desired thickness, the possibly of using oil is an interesting one. But I don't have any experience with an oil finish used in a marine application. [/QUOTE]
