If you want to minimize any coloring on the maple, I'd recommend using a
water clear finish, such as lacquer or Waterbased Poly, such as Minwax
Polycrylic.

As far as the "Tung oil finish - Your guess is as good as any as to what's
in it.

I'm finishing some birdseye maple and want to use tung oil to minimize
yellowing. Is all tung oil the same?
I see 'tung oil' and then 'pure tung oil' advertised. I'm worried
about other addatives causing some yellowing.
