I think you'll want the finish to overlap the end of the wraps and onto the blank itself by a little bit.

A bit of overlap is necessary to seal the wrap and prevent moisture from migrating from the blank into the thread wrap under the finish. The amount of overlap is a prime topic of discussion as there is no blanket rule although most agree that the edge of the overlap should be as even as possible for esthetic purposes.

I would vote yes, cover the entire butt wrap area just as if it had an underwrap.
