OK, I know that I should know this, but the old brain gets confused when dealing with lots of details. Perhaps some of you who are immune to 'senior moments', or who don't yet experience them, could answer a few questions.
Does purple heart turn purple after being cut, when exposed to daylight or ultra-violet light? Or, should it be purple when cut, turning brown with age or after exposure? (The stuff I have is brown when freshly cut, but I think I was told it should be purple and you have to use a UV-inhibiting finish to prevent, or delay, a color change.)
How long should I expect it to be before I begin to notice a color change?
Does 'butcher block' or 'cutting board' finish containing carnauba wax and beeswax have UV inhibitors that will affect color change?
Thanks for your help, regards, Steve
