I'm thinking coat of polyurethane, wrap in electrical tape,

clear spray paint. Who has this knowledge? Tried and true,
please.

Epoxy and smooth the handles, then cover with big fat heatshrink
tubing. Tape comes off or becomes a bit messy from the adhesive.
Self-fusing tape isn't tough enough to stand up.

Nah, unless there are really big gouges in the wood, no smoothing or
epoxy is needed. Heat shrink alone is sufficient. One of the greatest
inventions of all time. That, and Liquid Prell.
