Over 25 years ago a made some stern rail seats for a friends sailboat out of teak.  I used west system epoxy to do the glue up of the 2" wide boards.  The seats are still in great condition today and have held up with no problems.  I wiped all the glue surfaces with acetone before applying the west system epoxy.

Haven't ever tried titebond or gorilla glue so can't say how they would work but can attest to use of west system epoxy.

I still have somewhere around 700 bd ft of burmese teak shorts if anyone needs a lot of teak.

I made a small footstool out of teak for my diminutive wife so she could reach the upper cabinets in our boat.  Glued the freshly machined mortise and tenon joints with Titebond III after a wipe of the joint surfaces with lacquer thinner.  The stool is at least 25 years old and has held up perfectly.

The first step will be to all salvageable pieces into the barn to dry out. I had been hinting to The Boss Lady that I wanted to oil that furnure. She objected. Now she wants to buy all new. Sometimes you simply cannot please. [sad]
