6 coats of epiphanes gloss will give you a nice finish.

- what type of finish for wooden boathook?
- I'd go with 1.b
- Bear in mind that Ash, when exposed to moisture, will turn black
- I do #3. # 2 would be good too, especially for a boat hook.
- Another point, and why I paint my oars white. Ever lose one over board? At night? Ever try
- No finish at all is best for a good grip.
- I would varnish it..
- I covered the section where you grab
- I would suggest the you use two coats of clear epoxy then varnish on top
- Thanks Everyone. Nice to see such a "consensus"??
