[tartuffe]

Teak always looks good and will stand up well to the elements long after the varnish wears off but holy mackerel that stuff is high dollar. I found a bunch of mahogany and it came out really nice. Some is a light grain while other pieces are a deep red. It all looks good but the deep red really looks sharp.

I redid my wood two winters ago and after a year in the sun there is a spot the size of a dime on the bow that could use a touch-up.
