I bought a full teak dining set that was previously stained like a brown with orange undertones (original stain not pictured). I power washed and sanded as you can see the natural teak chairs. Then, I bought teak oil and stain - greystone from Wattco and stained one chair. I’m now indecisive. The greystone is a tad darker than I expected. It looks pretty in sunlight but in the shade it looks very dark. My patio is often shaded. But, the stain sort of matches our balcony walls which might look good together. Or I can leave natural and wait for that nice, natural silver grey or try to maintain this natural teak look. The only issue is that there is still some residual old stain given this is my first wood restoration and not sure if the imperfections will bother me. I think my indecisiveness is the worst with this. I just want it to look high end and done well. Sigh.
Any thoughts?
TLDR:
- Leave it natural Teak
- stain greystone (one chair is already stained)
- other
