Skip,
I would suggest using white ash as my floorboard cross members have not
darkened over time like the other woods on the plane. I know
you'd like to use the hedge wood but don't see how you can avoid the
darkening.

Skip,
I agree with Mike. You might be able to find a clear coating that has enough UV
absorbers to stop yellowing in the coating, but it may not be enough to protect
the wood. The only way to know for sure is to test each coating, a time consuming
and costly process. It would be better to use a wood that would not be
as prone to yellowing, such as Ash or Maple.

>From all I have read, there is really only one way to keep the light color
of Osage Orange.
But it doesn't seem to be very practical. You would have to keep your plane
locked up in a dark room at all times.
It seems that the oil-based urethane finishes have the most UV protection,
but they will still darken over time (just more slowly).
Personally, I prefer the look of the darkened wood. I think it looks real
purdy.

In case anyone out there is looking for a vintage small radial engine
for their Piet, there's a 1928 Velie M-5 (65 HP) up for bids on Ebay
(item # 360109921180), with just over a day to go on the auction.

I'm with Bill but if you must, well, here's a little help;

You would test the various products on samples.
Check out your local woodworkers or turners guild
or club.
Bleaching would most likely whiten osage but that
can be remedied with judicious applications of an
appropriate stain.
These are the folks I get my stuff from;

I've never bleached myself and I really prefer to NOT
stain. Each wood has it's own unique qualities and character.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: control stick protection
I would like to use Osage orange (Hedge tree) wood for the control
stick on my Piet. I would like the wood to stay the yellow color like
the center sample which was turned today. Any ideas on keeping it
yellow?
