Hi Rob,

What you say may well be true for many, not certainly for all though. I use a tung oil finish because I prefer that finish, not because it's fast and easy, which it really isn't if done correctly, well not fast anyway. Many coats of oil takes time.

I don't like hard finishes on paddles nor on oars for that matter.
