S&G: WGW Building Day 27: Opinion sought on gunwales?

When the boat is done, how should I finish the gunwales? Wax/Oil or Varnish?

I have glued the right inwale today. This is an interesting junction of the project. I can decide to glue the seats in and attach the oar holders and go rowing before I finish the sandng and painting. I'm not going to do that. First I don't have oars. HE HE. That's good enough reason to move on to the sanding.
