as far as screws are concern, any wood screws will do if you are not expecting to submerge them into salt water for extended periods of time.

as far as varnish and paint........ not a good idea. its either or. if you varnish or paint, make sure your wood has dried so you don't seal in the moisture (most wood you buy from lumber yard is kiln dried but not thoroughly dried). melamine paint dries to very hard finish and a good choice for stands that is chip resistent.
