A friend of mine is presently in The Muskokas where they just had a gathering of classic wooden boats. I don't know if you've heard of this product that they use in marine applications, but it sure looks nice. Here is his email to me:
Tom, when I was at the Antique Boat Show in the Muskokas in Gravenhurst, I asked a guy at the canoe display what to refinish my cedar strip canoe with. He told me to use the same stuff they use on the old woodies, which are absolutely magnificant! Anyways, it is called EPIFANES. I thought if you ever had to refinish, or touch up, your wooden bow, this would be ideal. WHAT AN AMAZING RESULT. An excellent spar varnish, which also comes in colours.
