Canoe paddle waterproof?

I have a canoe paddle. It was unfortunately scraped and part of the finish has come off. What can I put on that will waterproof it and can also be used for the handle and grip?

Ideas has the correct answer. Make sure the wood is dry before doing anything. Let it sit in the sun for a few days. Lightly sand the damaged areas. Wipe off all sanding dust with a tack rag. Apply multiple coats of polyurethane.
