Buttonlac. Warm look, good wear and easy repair.

Not on a floor IMHO, too soft, not enough water resistance

A whole bunch of kayak and canoe makers would disagree with you.

kayaks and canoes do not get the foot traffic that a floor does

I am surprised, of what I have read about boat building, I have never seen
buttonlac on any list of recommended sealants for watercraft, guess you
learn something new every day.
