You can stain it to the darkness/color you want. Just stain and wipe per the directions. As far as teak oil goes, I use no less than 3 coats, applied per the manufacturer's directions. Nice thing about teak oil is the way it brings the grain out, and if it gets messed up, you can simply put more on.

A quart of either will cover about 150 square feet, according to the cans I bought for my wood working. Teak oil may cover less, depending on how many coats it takes.
