Wood Changing Color With Age
Back in December I turned a little bowl from a branch of African Sumac that I found. Fresh cut, the wood is really pale. The bowl has been sitting on my wife’s desk for six months now and you can see that the color has gotten a bit deeper.
That’s from December on the left and today on the right.
The only finish is carnauba wax applied by heat of friction.
See ya,

nice post !
flow me @rahulrana , @rahulrana1 , @rahulro -Thanks.
I like the darker colored grain in the turning. Really makes pieces interesting.
Many years ago I did some of the same with the bright white wood that you get in purpleheart scrap.
Damn that's purty...... Your listening is getting really good....... I still haven't been able to get my stuff out of storage so I'm kinds stuck as to what I can do
