Towel bars

A good poly will hold up fine. If you really want to over kill the finish go with spar varnish.

The hand towel bar I turned is finished with CA just like when I make pens.
It’s as shiny and clear as the day it was made; more than a year old.

I’ve got a floor poly from my local paint store that I love. It goes on easier than anything I’ve used before, washes out of the brush easily. The only thing that I don’t like is that the finish ends up looking a little thicker than I’d hoped, but the stuff appears to be bomb-proof.

It’s what I’ll be using on bathroom fixtures.
