What have people used as a finish for interior teak?
I prefer NOT to finish with varnish or a hard finish. I'm looking for what oils have people used?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

On a previous boat, I used orange oil that I got at the grocery store. Smelled good. Can't remember how long it lasted. It was cheap and easy to put on, too.
I've used both "Amazon's Golden Teak Oil" as well as Teak Oil from a Danish furniture store (when they still sold strip-the-rain-forest teak furniture). Didn't see much difference between the products. Over-application did tend to leave a slightly sticky surface, so learned to be stingy with the amount used and be sure to wipe off any excess.
I found that you don't actually use that much anyway as the interior doesn't degrade that quickly, so cost did not enter the equation for me. I still have half a bottle of the Amazon's which had lasted 8 years of use for the interior of a Newport 28 (lots of teak on that boat!).
