bob, the teak is actually from a couple of floorboards from a larger boat that someone was tossing, (the boards not the boat). i did, however, stumble upon a stain combo that makes mahogany look just like teak. Minwax's Red Chestnut #232 wood finish plus a little spar varnish, 50/50 mix to add some yellow, results in a nice red/honey color that is extremely close to naturally finished teak. here's a link to the finished rack for color comparison.
