Varnish

[Phil705]

I haven't heard of anyone using varnish as a final sealer on wood knife handles. There must be a good reason, but what is it? I was thinking of a good spar varnish, not too shiney.

Thanks

I don't use it because I don't like the way it looks.

I much prefer the look of Teak oil and Carnuba wax finishes.

And because you have to strip and revarnish every so often.
