Quite a few people do have allergies to teak oil; Gunsmith Roy Dunlap mentioned this in his book "Gunsmithing". A lot of GIs broke put in rashes on their hands from handling the Japanese Arisakas during WWII. I love its qualities but am unfortunately one who did break out in a rash n my hands from using it to finish a stock, so format also it.s Artist-grade Linseed.

OOPs; sorry, it just hit me the subject was "Teak" oil, "Tung" Oil is the one I was thinking of.
