Legitimate concern Harry. I have some saddle experience, but I was thinking more along the lines of old fashioned snowshoes. They varnished them up with multiple coats, and as long as the varnish didn't wear completely off they are fine.
In the end, time will tell, and I will be sure to post if I have any problems. I will also post when I use it to gaff big fishies!
