What is better for Mahogany Tung Oil or Teak Oil?
Used inside, tung oil does not darken, unlike linseed oil. However, linseed oil costs about half as much as tung oil. Therefore, most of the "teak oils" on the market contain mostly linseed as the oil component rather than the more expensive tung oil. The remaining ingredients are penetrants and driers. The same effect can be achieved by mixing turpentine with tung oil prior to application. Another difference is that tung oil will offer a bit more protection from water spotting (if someone fails to use a coaster). I believe tung oil hardens a bit more than linseed, although I am not certain where I saw this.

What is the best wood to use for outdoor signs?
Exterior grade plywood. There are also non processed wood types that can work well for outdoor signs. Just to name a few, there is Red wood, Cedar and cypress. Some newer alternatives are what is called "Heat treated" or "torrefied" wood where a heating process closes the cells of the wood fiber. This process allows the use of woods with poor outdoor longetivity to perform as well as cedar for example. Poplar would be one of the most used for heat treating. It finds it primary use for decking.....but also for signage. The advantage is that cost of (commun species) heat treated wood is far less expensive than cedar.
