Dan:

If you are talking about the teak sole below decks, you should be aware
that, in our boat at least, the sole seems to be a teak veneer. In the area
of the galley we have worn it to the glue in several spots.

On our boat, the lazarette and main hatches were laminated teak, not a
veneer. When the top layer wore so that the glue started to show, I could
sand through the worn teak and glue and expose a fresh layer of teak.
However, I think that the sole is one layer of teak on plywood, so  you
should be careful not to do much sanding. We didn't varnish the sole, just
oiled it. (The varnish might give the teak better resistance to wear.)
