Hello gentlemen, just a couple questions. How do you guys like to finish teak wood. Do you apply CA before your final sanding. Do many of you use this wood. Thanks for your responses. Re: Teak Wood

I finished a reel seat insert with CA recently. All CA applications were made after final sanding, and then the thick CA coating was machined down with wet sandpaper (400/800/1000/1500/2000) followed by 8000 and 12000 micromesh (wet). Final steps were performed with a heavy then light car polish. All these steps were performed on the lathe at 1800 rpm. Great results.

I have a lot of teak pieces but I don't think the teak I have has enough "grain" to make it all that interesting for use on reel seats etc. As I seem to recall teak was used on rods years ago. I have finished some using a CA tru oil instead of CA BLO. I would stick with the Tru Oil. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
