Cuprinol clear wood preservative, then either Danish Oil or one of the two pack micro-porous varnishes made by Sikkens or Burgess.

I think Teak Oil is a different blend which gives a slightly glossier finish.

ypu can get tung oil from any decoraters warehouse, or brewers, or maybe local diy shops, it is fairly common but is better than danish oil and of course a little bit more expensive
