I found African Mahogany and Philippine Mahogany at a reasonable price (1/3
of Teak). Are these woods acceptable substitutes for Teak in a steamy wet
environment. What other species can you recommend. What finish do you
recommend for Mahogany? Linseed oil or a polyurethane or something else.

I saw and ad for a steambath that has an accessory wooden seat. The
ad states that it's made from "exotic European Iroko". Whatever that
is...
