The other option is to do a glaze of dark finish to highlight the grain lines on woods that have such, like red or white oak. Then even if they do bleach you have the dark line contrast to keep it looking good.

I don't think I've ever glazed anything. Sounds good. How do I glaze the wood, apply a glaze finish? I have the smaller pieces and other pecan lumber to practice on.

Not too familiar with Pecan but I assume it does not have much textured grain and is more like maple or birch. The other option is to use naturally yellowing finish like shellac or nitrocellulose lac.


I'll try to take some close-up detail pics, to show its texture.
