The problem with woods like teak and mahogany, is they are dense and oily. They do well against rot, but unfortunately things, other than mold, don't like to stick to them. That's why I believe in teak oil for my teak. I find it easier to re-apply it every other month or so still easier than sanding and re-varnishing it every other year. I've never tried it, but teak oil or something similar might work on mahogany. Just remember, oils have to be re-applied ever so often, but it's easy and a lot less messy. This is just my opinion as I am cheap and lazy, but still like things to look nice.
