"ALL timber darkens on exposure to daylight"

My experience is that walnut gets lighter.

OK - ALMOST all timber darkens on exposure to daylight! All the timber I've worked with has, anyway......

It may vary depending on whether it's "daylight" or "strong sunlight" that it gets exposed to...

Offer of a bit of  maple still standing.. No charge and I'll cut it to your specifications and cut a second set as a back-up

That in between getting a box of stuff ready for Rees and a package for the powers that be at Mel Net.  : )

The wood on my maple Loffet was very white originally. Over the years, it ripened to a more mellow, yellower tone.
