Varnish it as soon as possible before the flies come and ---- on it ! that's my opinion!

Took your advice, Gloss on the botom & satin on top, gloss on the deck, looks better but some tiding up needed

Gosh you are brave ! I always fit the bowsprit as late as possible as i am afraid of accidentally snapping it off !

ditto.

Actually I fited the Bowsprit to ensure the fit was good and tight - then I removed it and put it asside for further permanent fitting at a later date(rigging stage).I gor caught with my Halcon build and damaged the Bowstrip twice
YOU ARE BOTH RIGHT

 

[Martin By Eye]

Well done, sometimes caution is the better path !
