[Alberg30] Wood for Spreaders

[Mike Lehman]

On the boats I have seen with wooden spreaders, they were varnished bt the 
tops were painted white to reflect the the effects of UV.

 >paint over the final coats of epoxy to
prevent UV damage to the epoxy.

But what do you use to protect the paint? Sheesh ;-)

How about just using spar varnish (the name should be a clue)? Then you get
to check the grain of the wood for cracks and water intrusion.

BTW I'm betting the original spreaders were spruce as the original poster
intended to use.
