Well, the teak top on my wife's shower stool gave out in less than 3 months from purchase and now I'm tasked with rebuilding the top.

It's basic structurally, but I'm worried about the finish. It seems the last one failed at the screw holes and it looks like water invaded several small cracks.

The WW on it was rather low quality, so I am hoping to get a little more life out of the one I'm going to build. I plan to use oak (exotics are too expensive down in south Florida), seal the hell out of it and hope for the best.

Any advise on getting more than 3 months out of this thing? It will endure 2-3 showers a day, and probably remain moist for a long time....

thanks for any help!
