www.refinishwizard.com forum might have some ideas.

Thanks for the tip!
It is still quite new, that website, but I'll check it out. My medieval
browser, however, could not digest all of that site.
I'll try to look further at furniture related sites/groups, but keep
your suggestions coming here, if you have any.

I just finished sanding my Teak chairs today. Smooth as silk! Mmmm. :-)
For the oil finish, I made small tests:
1) Pure linseed oil a) just wiped off b) wiped off + sanding on wet
tree
2) "Teak oil" (contains white spirit) a) and b) as above
