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.

Pine, oak, maple, redwood, walnut darken with age. *I am surprised how
much my pine furniture has darkened with age. *Not sure if ALL wood
darkens with sun exposure, but I'd like to know which one(s) do not.
There have been many times I avoided cherry due to its darkening
characteristics. *What is aggravating is putting a vase, cloth, lamp
on a table for some months, then you can see the lighter shadow on the
wood. *

Many thanks!
