: the color changes with time and exposure to sun

Unfortunately, it does turn very very dark after a year when exposed to sunlight, even under epoxy.

The color does not look anything like the new milled wood.

All woods will darken when exposed to sunlight but some much more than others. This is one of them.

All the best,
