Teak wood (Tectona grandis) does not need to be protected. It is truly a unique wood that if left in its natural state, is virtually maintenance-free.   Teak can be left outside year round, surviving even the most extreme weather conditions.  There really is no other wood that has the same unique set of properties as teak, making it the gold standard for our Insta-Nets.

Over time untreated Teak which is exposed to the sun will patina and turn a beautiful silvery, grey color. This process is purely cosmetic and does not harm the strength or quality of the wood in any way.  Many people prefer to leave their teak handle "bare" and let it age gracefully. There is nothing wrong with this choice; in fact the graying is actually a protective skin on top of the wood.  If you decide to go this route, it is not a permanent decision.  You can always decide later to remove the gray by cleaning your teak handle with a Teak wood cleaner.
