I'm turning a wood handle for a butter knife. I want to finish it with something that will hold up to dishwashers and other watery environments. Any recommendation?

No finishes are waterproof, but some are more resistant tan others. CA at the very least, but I don't think it will hold up in a dishwasher.

Will it go through the dishwasher?
Only once..... They really should be hand washed. Too extreme temperature and humidity changes for wood to go through..

"...that will hold up to dishwashers..."
That's a tall order. I haven't found one yet, foodsafe or otherwise.
IF you use a two part marine epoxy AND don't select heat dry on the dishwasher than it might survive for a while. But eventually someone will forget about no heat and it wont make it much longer. Best is to insist on hand wash only.

No, it's not thin enough yet.
