Good question, David.
I work with a lot of cherry, cut from my dad's farm, and I've had that problem with Lye-darkened cherry. Over time, it appears to get darker and darker. Brent "WebsterSteve" wrote in message om... "David F. Eisan" wrote in message able.rogers.com... Dear All, Well thanks to Mr. Owen Shim and others, it looks like I am going to fume my little cherry clock with ammonia. Here is what my test piece looks like set beside the clock, http://members.rogers.com/moreweb/images/fume1.jpg I compared it to a cherry table I made about 20 years ago, and it is even darker than the table. Fuming seems to make the cherry look as old as it ever will in just a few days of exposure. I like it and I will keep everyone posted on how things are coming, David. David, Do you think it will get even darker from UV/light? The ammonia (or lye if you would have used that) reacts with the tannins. I'm not sure what light reacts with but I fear ( well not really fear - I'd say "think" but I don't do much of that either) that the piece may become almost black when the cherry darkens even more from light. This may have been discussed already but with the signal to noise ratio lately, I haven't been visiting much. |
