Question Beam from front to back

HI;
Got a question as to what to seal the beam from front to back on both sides of the roof on a Model A there called side pieces, as it's the piece that you nail the roof to and rain gutters to.

On a late 1931 Deluxe Tudor Sedan as I bought new beams for that part of the roof and I don't know what to seal them with, as some people told me to use shellac on them but I was also told to use just Varnish on them.

But I have never done this before so I just thought I would ask what other people have used on there new roof pieces of wood, and as to how many coats you put on it as I live in Wisconsin and I get a lot of moisture up here so I need to seal it good as it's made out of Ash.

Thanks let me know Reggiedog
