I'm on how the padauk color is after time? I always find oil finished to be very darkening after exposure to sunlight. Linseed oil is particularly the worst. but if you want something dark...

I was looking for a way to keep that bright orange red in padauk long after the top coat. A friend told that this armor-all was a polymer and would help block out UV and keep the color of the wood.
I tried it and I was only able to see this project for about a year after and it looked fine to that point. In the 80's when this was done I was shooting Sherwin Wiliams, Water White lacquer.
