I'm looking at both Brazilian cherry and Teak furniture and was wondering which one is better. I've noticed that Teak furniture is more expensive. Any advice?
not sure about the cherry but the teak will last a lilifetime. it has natural oils in it that keeps it from rotting. and insects do not like it at all. it will turn a nice shade of gray if you do not put a finish on it. hope this helped with half of your question

Many opinions seem to exist. What are the pros and cons of:
1. just teak oil only every 6 months
2. going for marine grade teak oil (is this better?)
3. using a natural decking oil in steak of teak oil for a longer lasting result
3. using a combination stain and varnish
Teak wood doesn't need to have anything done to it. In my experience it's better to leave it alone. It weathers beautifully.

And, what does the oil do? And, last question is do you need to cover teak furniture in bad weather or when not using the furniture?
Teak is very hard and can withstand the weather very well. The oil puts back the natural oil that gets soaked up by the sun, every couple years or when it starts looking light colored apply a liberal coat. Good luck Les the painter
Here is a product: http://www.yardenvy.com/p/Teak_Protector _(1_Liter)_Misc_Accessories--15675--128. htm You don't need to protect teak unless you want to preserve the rich color, and you can always use a teak cleaner to bring back it's original color. Teak will eventually turn a silvery patina color if left unprotected outdoors, but it will not lose it's strength.

Teak Outdoor Furniture Is Not A New Idea | Article Rumble
Ever since ancient times, civilization has been aware of the benefits of teak. The wood is easy to work with, and its resistance to decay has made it not only a popular timber tree, but also a valuable resource. The strong structural properties of teak made it the favorite choice for shipbuilders since the middle ages. The main advantage of teak is its unique ability to prevent rust and corrosion when in contact with metal. This makes it invaluable in the shipbuilding industry. It is said that the first outdoor teak benches were actually made of decking from old sailing ships. The decking on these ships was in such good condition when the ships were about to be scrapped, the wood was recycled and remade in teak outdoor furniture. In the late 1800s, teak began to be used seriously for outdoor furniture. Heavily admired in its native India , teak soon traveled to Victorian England. Teak benches and chairs became the perfect compliment to an English garden. Public parks all over England are furnished with teak outdoor furniture, some of which are nearly a century old. An outstanding material, teak continues to be a choice for boat materials even in this day and age. Elephants are still used to haul teak from inland jungles to the waterways. Transporting teak has always been a difficult problem because of the heavy weight of the wood. The logs are so heavy they will not float. Instead the elephants drag the teak logs through the thick undergrowth in the rain forests. These forests are usually a great distance from the coast. They have even been trained to stack the logs in even piles. And when a bell sounds to end the day, the elephants know to stop their work, without any human direction.
