Ed. What kind of wood? Teak? If so, nothing will stay on it very well. Almost anything else....there is a urethane product for floors that will work well. I think it is called Varathane Floor Finish. Home Depot. Lowes, etc.
Having said that, get a piece of skateboard traction paper from Sport Authority. It is self sticking. It comes in clear and has a sand finish top. That will give you traction and will protect against wear after you finish it. There is a marine product for non-skid that has a land based equivalent that will work, too. It comes in grey and black. I have not seen clear.
