Iroko hardwood
G'day
Greetings from the UK.
I've recently bought a pair of Iroko hardwood gates. However the joiner who made them has said I need to oil the gate.
At present the gate is a light yellow colour but I want it to go a little darker - but not much. What Type of oil do I need to do this?
Is teak oil something that will get good results?

Iroko is used in boat building as a Teak substitute so a good outdoor wood, oiling will prolong it's good looks.
Teak Oil is a good answer.Dragonfly
