In Response To: Paddle: Greenland Paddle finish (Sodbuster)

I've been using Minwax Tung Oil Finish for about 4 years now with good results. I am not sure if it's even actually Tung oil but it works fine. A few coats will bring up a nice satin sheen. I usually lightly sand/steel wool and refinish once a year. My paddle is 3 years old and used 3 to 4 times per week in salt water in the summer and once a week in the chlorinate pool during the winter . The finish holds up great.
