Having replaced my ancient bowsprit with a new spruce one, I need to stain/varnish it to colour blend it with the hull of my 1935 teak gaff cutter. Thoughts please on methods/products to help me. Thanks.

Varnish with Epifanes 1 pot.
Most classic yachts do not have teak masts or spars
so you don't need to colour match it..they should be different.
It shows that you have chosen the right wood for the job.
Each coat of Epifanes does darken the spruce
so get about 20 coats on and she'll be right :)
Cheers,
Chris
