Nice gaff.  Make sure it floats.  Hate to loose a beauty like that.

Of course this is how you properly show off a Wall-Ace/Wilderneshunter Gaff

always a worthwhile project!
I dig the color on the madrone, so cool!

I've had good luck with marine Spar Varnish on my gaffs. Seal it up well and it ought to float, a real bonus. I do multiple light coats, with sanding in between to get rid of the drips.

here's Mdoka_Matt showing off the gaff I made a few years ago. That thing has captured a lot of meat for the table!
