Built a mahogany deck on my house about 7 years ago. Before I installed the boards, I rubbed a 50/50 mixture of linseed oil and thinner on them and that really brought out the color of the wood. But that didn't last through the winter so after that, I've been treating it with either Messmer's or Cabot (fire mahogany). It's alot of work to do esp the railings (I used fir and clearcoat them every other year or so, I usuall finish around Labor Day). But it all looks nice when its done.
