Bruce, if you're going to all that work, I would varnish. No oil is going to last and it leaves the veneer subject to water intrusion, which will stain the teak.
First, I'd try to clean the old lemon oil off with alcohol, then sand with 180 grip paper, apply a sealer coat (I like Pettit Clear Sealer), allow that to dry, then apply a coat of Epiphanes Wood Finish Gloss (bring money) for it's durability and UV resisting properties, Then brush on a coat of Epiphanes Rubbed Effect varnish, which is a really forgiving finish that gives off a beautiful lustre. You can varnish over most teak oils. Peregrine was done that way before I got her and in the five years I had her the finish still looked terrific. The only maintenance was a wipe-down with vinegar and water every now and then.
