What has everyone been using for finishing their Floor Boards?
Danish Oil or Varnish? Recommended Brands?
How may coats and are you sanding in between coats?

thanks

Ron,
I used Danish Oil and applied according to the instructions which if I remember included two or three coats with a light sanding between. I do remember it was easy and the boards are very nice and soft to the touch.
I recommend it...

Old Soul was splashed last Saturday! Had a great sail in 10-15 knots wind on the lake. Amazing boat! No problems at all. I will get more pictures this Sunday on the second sail and post.
