Most of the woodwork in the cabin on my boat is in good shape, but the companionway stairs and the area aroudn the sink in the galley could use some work. I've tried teak cleaner, teak oil, and lemon oil with little effect. What are anyone's thoughts about something like a satin varnish in these areas and maybe all of the interior woodwork? Thanks.

About 6 or 7 years ago I took the companionway stairs home, sanded them thoroughly and then put 4 or 5 coats of cetol on them before reinstalling them. The finish has held up very nicely.

Roger that. It was a good early spring project and an opportunity to secure the stair treads properly. Fitting the unit back into place required some prying and shoving; it seemed to have grown a little.

Hi Michael:

About 3 years ago, I brought the stairs to a furniture refinishing shop (along with some other wood from below). They stripped off the finish and then used a mahogany stain with a protective coating over it. The mahogany matches the other wood below. Didn't cost a lot of money and it still looks great.

I tried Cetol first but the match wasn't even close to the other wood.

I'll try to post some pictures if I can figure out how to do it.

Was the Cetol that you used tinted or clear? Also, Whatever finish is used on the companionway stairs, It should have UV and moisture inhibitors in it because the stairs are subject to lots of sunlight and water from rain, spray and wet shoes.

Hi Renzo:

It was Marine Light and it didn't match from the moment I put it on. The interior wood, at least in Wingapo, is closer to mahogany than other stains I looked at.
