Maple wood looks pretty when it is freshly cut. Everything I use yellows the wood to some effect.
I could spin the piece and melt in some Carnauba wax or some Parrafin wax. Looks good at first but then it dulls with handling.
I like the durability and shine from a tung oil finish. I have some Minwax Marine coat finish too that isn't bad.
Used Sam Maloof's formulas too. Used shellac for sealing, You name it. Everything causes yellowing.
I like the Sam Maloof mix better than anything I can buy from the stores. The application period is a lot longer but worth it.
The problem with it is that it's part Tung Oil and that contributes to yellowing.
Is there a formula around for a clear hard finish.
