RW Salnick inscribed in red ink for all to know:
I am seeking the wisdom of the group here...

I had occasion to strip the varnish off of our shower grate. When I had
it down to bare wood, it looked pretty good. Although it was finished
from the factory, I now wonder if that was only the request of the first
owner. The grate in the cockpit is bare wood, and it looks good...

What is the wisdom he Should I leave it bare, or should I re-varnish
it?

Thanks for all the comments...

I have begun using the grate in its unfinished condition - so far, so
good. It continues to look good...
