    That was so incredibly nice of Bob and Debbie! Kudos to them for gifting that swivel seat! Your actually not supposed to do anything to teak. It’s meant to be used as is.

      Yes, that was super nice of them!! 😊 And that’s what we heard about teak, but we decided to go for it anyways! We like how the seal brings out the color, so hopefully it won’t flake off over time 🤞

      @@JimmyandNatalie, I’m sure it will be fine. You can always sand it down if you have issues. It’s a wood that shows well over time into a beautiful patina. And there’s no problems with moisture.

    Reminds me of our (wife and I) Motorhome build... 1976 Ex Greyhound bus. Used many years, but the bus (and us) are retired. Bus is parked next to the house for visitor use. Today is Labor Day here in the States and my 87th b'day. Hope you enjoy your RV as much as we enjoyed ours. You two get along just great! Wife and I married 68 years - and still get along. :) One other note - Teak - does not need any finish.

    A great big thank you to Bob and Debbie for your very thoughtful and generous gift of the swivel seat!!! These Cherubs are definitely deserving of it.. they are the sweetest!!!
    Oh I almost forgot, for future reference, most people use an electric turkey knife to cut foam rubber, but that saw seems to have done the trick just as well. Good thinking, and probably safer.
    Catch ya on the flip side Jimmy and Natalie!!! Sweet dreams!!! See you next week

    Teak is a beautiful wood. Over my 30+ years of residential painting we re-finished many set of teak tables and chairs. Some we just power washed, some washed and primed then painted (yuckie), Stained, poly'd, Epoxy, pretty much any product out there we've used. My opinion is natural or a latex clear. This wood also helps with bugs and is rot resistant.

    @gratefuldude7511 2 года назад

    Protecting the teak in one form or another is important, the finish you are putting on is fine. Most teak is not stained exactly for the reason you said it’s beauty. You can use a straight edge when using your saber saw like your circular saw makes it a bit smoother cut. It’s too late now but a french cleat is a great way to hang a cabinet. Easier for you to google it than for me to try to explain it. Well done on your cabinet build, I was a cabinetmaker for 25 years. When ever possible always pre drill for screws except for pocket screws.
