Treating outdoor wood furniture

Evening

Hoping for some insight regarding protecting wood furniture from the elements.

We've used teak and linseed oil to protect them in the past - but it does give an yellow tinge to the wood. I kind of like the grey-ed look it has at the moment - are there any oils which can give the furniture protection without the yellow brown appearance?

Thank you!

  • I've just used teak oil and no yellow tinge at all?

    Some woods will always look slightly yellow. You could try Screwfix no nonsense stuff. Always has useful reviews for their products

    What type of wood is it Kmeh?
    I have 2 supposed to be mahogany benches, the type with wrought iron on the ends and they are given a coat of oil based Dulux Weathershield every 2 years but my other one is made of cedarwood, it's 20 years old and has never been treated with anything and has turned a lovely silver colour. I've jet washed it 3 times to remove algae during this time.
