The list is slow this rainy day in WV, can't fly the Piet or ride the bike so will
ask this question.
I would like to use Osage orange (Hedge tree) wood for the control stick on my
Piet. I hogged out a couple nice boards with a chain saw from a tree my neighbor
gave me for firewood, they are now stickered and about dry. I would like the
wood to stay the yellow color like the center sample which was turned today.
The other two scraps I sprayed varnish and lacquer on about a year ago and hung
in the shop window. As you can see they both turned dark orange.
Any ideas on keeping it yellow?
