I just bought a Columbia 23 sailboat. It needs some work on the faded
teak and the barebones interior could use some sprucing up. I'm new to
this kinda thing and have been confused a little. I've seen pictures on
websites of teak that has been sanded to good wood and treated with gold
teak oil and it is a pretty golden color. The teak on the outside of my
boat looks like it would turn out this way. The bulkheads however are
new and the teak is very dark, as is the rest of the interior. Are there
two different types of teak? All the teak the local west marine sells is
dark, like the inside of my boat. Where do I get the pretty light golden
teak I've seen in pictures? I need some for the outside of the boat.

Secondly is there a teak stain somewhere that I can use to stain the
inside portion of the cabin doors so the interior matches when the
entrance is covered?

Thirdly where are the best shops to try to find teak veneer or teak
panelling to put up in the walls of the cabin?
