I'm experimenting with Krylon's UV Archival Varnish, to see if it helps prevent fading of the intense color often found in box elder wood, and I wonder if any Creekers have relevant experience that might bear on that question.
I obtained access to a box elder (aka, ash-leaf maple, Acer negundo) tree that was cut down recently, and have begun turning some bowls, including this natural edge one, pictured along with a rattle-can of the UV protection varnish:

Thanks for sharing whatever insight you can lend me.
