UV protection on stock question
I made a stock and fore end from Osage Orange or Hedge as it's often called. I'd like to maintain the bright yellow/orange color and over time this wood tends to darken quite a bit. It's been suggested that exposure to light is the cause of this, so I was thinking about trying to use a clear urethane of some sort as a sealer and preferably an aerosol.
I've done a bit of searching and can only find one UV protectant aerosol and it seems it dries leaving a rather chalky, somewhat opaque finish which is not what I want. So I thought I'd ask to see if anyone here has tried something like this and what the results were? Tried to upload a couple of photos but files are too big apparently.
Thanks for looking.
