Paddle: How do I finish this paddle? *Pic*

As you can see in the picture, one of these paddles is ready for finishing. My question is do I have to coat it with epoxy first then sand that to a dull finish then varnish the paddle? That's how I did my kayak. Can I skip the epoxy and go right to the varnish and still get a great finish?
