My avatar is finished with McCloskey "Man O War" spar varnish and the finish today is as good as when it was applied forty-some years ago. Beware of that '50s blond-television-console look that some of the modern coatings create.

If you're in a hurray, forget spar varnish as it takes forever to dry properly between coats.
