    Default Teak Troubles

    Hi All
    My sister in law had a beaut Teak table, oiled, purch'd in Singapore.
    One Day
    No2 son decided to sand it back and re-oil it, first mistake.
    As usual did not finish
    Then a while later No1's wife decided to finish it
    With PLAIN LINSEED oil..... 2nd mistake
    The bloody thing went a redish color. SIL hit the roof!!!
    What do you think I should do to try and get it back to teak(ish) if possible.
    I am a woodturner and woodworker and have some Klowledge of the different finishes but I would like some guidance on this one

    Cheers and Thanks in advance

    How heavily was the LO applied? If only lightly, you may get away with another sanding session to get it back to good wood. (I'd double- & triple-check that it's not just a veneer first! )

    As for what to finish it with, once the worst damage is undone... well... that depends on what it was finished with in the first place. I gather you'd only be guessing?
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.
