Re-finishing a Teak bench

[Phil1975]

I have been asked to re-finish a Teak bench by a colleague at work. The bench is a memorial bench, around 10 years old.
I am aware that Teak is self lubricating, but this one could definitely use some help as it has dried out & the arms have began to split.
They have tried to apply Teak oil, but have bodged it & it looks pretty awful (patchy).
What would you recommend to bring the bench back to life: sand down & re apply Teak oil, Sikkens, Osmo or something completely different?
Thanks.

what about le tonkinois varnish? supposed to be good stuff I think it'd be ideal for something like this once you've sanded it back

Deks Oilje is pretty popular on boats

Raw linseed oil. It looks messy for a day or so but eventually soaks in very evenly and brings out the colour of the wood. Brush on thinly and after a few hours wipe off any pools remaining. Flood it into all joints, cracks, around hardware etc

Then watch it go black? Everything I've ever used raw linseed on and left outdoors has.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I went with the Le Tonkinois in the end. Partly because I phoned for advice & actually got some, which counts for a lot in my book. Also because a few people off the forum also had good things to say about it.
