Wood bed finishing recommendations??

[zacut]

I am in the process of installing a new oak wood bed and am interested in finish suggestions. I plan to actually use the truck lightly vs a full show truck finish.

Currently I am planning to stain the wood and then spray a couple of coats of Spar marine varnish over that, but I am wondering what good and bad experiences others have had.

If I had it to do over again I would have used a simple teak oil finish on teak wood. That way as it wore some I could have simply added more teak oil.

Thanks.
