I want to make these things and it says I need polyurethane varnish. It's a US article and the varnish it links to is not one I know about. Can anyone recommend a UK one I can get?

How pretty, I don't have old forks anywhere near as nice. Wouldn't yacht varnish work okay? (Best wait until dpack tells you what to use. )

Nail varnish would work. Nip around your local DIY store and look at the varnish tins find one that contains polyurethane.

Nice if you like that sort of thing - personally I use rocks and it's fairly obvious what's what when it grows. Anyhow .....

Why silver plated ?
Presumably because it won't rust ?
If it's covered in varnish does it need to be silver plate ?
