The yellow does disappear quickly. Give the wood some time and it will turn
a dark russet color. I like the russet color better than the fresh turned
color. The only domestic wood I know that stays yellow is Kentucky
Yellowwood.

Thanks to all who answered my questions about mulberry a couple weeks ago.
I've turned a few bowls and noticed that the yellow seems to disappear
fairly quickly. Is this the way of this wood? Not that I mind all that
much as free wood is good wood and some of the grain patterns have been
rather attractive.
