darken upon exposure to sunlight from a maple type color to a darker reddish color. I know this is primarily from exposure to UV light. I finish my bowls with a few coats of Formby's Tung Oil Finish and then after thorough drying, I use my Beall system to polish and wax. Does anyone know of procedures to use to accelerate the rate of darkening. What might be a good UV source that could be used close to the wood to darken it. I have a halogen work light but I don't know the primary wavelengths of emission for those bulbs. Bob Other posts:
