Project Type: Teak Furniture Maintenance
Product Used: Cabot Australian Timber Oil (ATO)
Project Summary
Lindsay Partain’s outdoor patio in San Diego features a striking teak dining set that blends modern design with natural elegance. The table, framed by woven rope chairs and lush greenery, had started to show signs of exposure from sun and weather. The teak had dulled and lost its rich color — a common occurrence for outdoor wood in coastal climates. Our objective was to restore the set’s warm, luxurious tone and protect it for long-term outdoor enjoyment.
What We Did
This project focused on a large teak dining table with a contemporary cross-leg design, paired with six stylish woven chairs. We started by deep-cleaning the table’s surface to remove any buildup and natural oxidation from sun exposure. After letting the teak fully dry, we applied Cabot Australian Timber Oil (ATO) — a premium oil designed to penetrate deep into hardwoods like teak.
Cabot ATO not only enhances the natural beauty of the wood grain, but also provides long-lasting protection against moisture, mildew, and harmful UV rays. Its rich finish helped restore the teak’s signature golden hue while preventing future fading or surface damage.
The Result
The transformation was subtle but powerful. The teak table now radiates warmth, with its grain patterns visibly enhanced and protected under a smooth, satin finish. Set against concrete floors, neutral-toned woven chairs, and minimalist decor, the revived teak brings a rich organic contrast that completes the patio’s design.
With the refinishing complete, Lindsay’s dining space feels like a modern outdoor retreat — ready for entertaining, family dinners, or quiet mornings surrounded by nature. The application of Cabot ATO ensures that the teak will continue to resist weathering, offering both beauty and durability for seasons to come.
