The tung oil darkened it a little, but only to a deep orange color--still very pretty. I made that stand about 4 months ago and there is definitely no change in the color so far. They say osage does the same thing, but I've got bows I've made out of the stuff 6-7 years old that have seen a lot of sunlight in use and they are still very yellow with very little darkening. So the time to actually change may be exceedingly long.
