Hi all,

A smart guy over at rec.woodworking thought you might be able to help me.

I'm planning to build a sofa, chair and coffee table out of either teak or
Honduran mahogany (if someone has another good suggestion, I'm open.) I
don't want the wood to weather to grey but rather maintain its natural
color. I realize yearly maintenance will be required. I was thinking
exterior grade polyurethane. Can anyone give me some suggestions as to how
to proceed?

One reply suggested that this wasn't going to happen, but another said he's
seen many boats with great finishes.

Thanks in advance

San Diego Joe
