[alberg30] teak

[Gregg Rennie]

If your hardwood supplier has Iroko (African Teak) it handles and finishes
well and looks just like the original teak on Yankee Star.  It also seems to
hold up very well and is 1/3 to 1/2 the price of real teak. The last time I
bought some, it was $5.50 per bd/ft in northern VA.  I've replaced almost
all of the teak on Yankee Star (except the toe rails) and it looks great.
