Hello all,
Question:
Does all wood darken with age? Cherry, of course, is an example of
such a species. Do other woods behave in the same way? One would
think that most color would fade with exposure to light, and that
cherry is an anomaly.

Thank you all for your responses. The wood in question is curly maple
finished with rock hard table top varnish. Sounds like the answer is
"it depends".

It will darken.

And the varnish will yellow...
