What are you looking for? The sun will beat anything to pulp over time. Depending on the so called "Teak", they all gray or turn dark to colors. It need to be sanded along with the oil then waxed to keep moisture away. Rub wax with steel wool. This offers little more protection, but that's about it.
They are all similar harvested materials from the tropics. Real Teak is a lot of money. About a year ago, I built some wine glass holder for a client and they were 18 bucks for a board foot. Aint cheap.
