Garris - I believe, as did Whaler, that mahogany should ALWAYS be varnished, not oiled. In my experience oiled mahogany does not hold up well at all - the wood is too soft and porous.
Daly's Seafin is reported to be 15% varnish, which is why it tends to hold up better than other brands with less varnish in them. But if you're going to go 15%, why not 100%?
