I have built many projects with cherry (bedroom set and various cabinets) and have always had rough lumber boards that are roughly the same color. I buy my lumber rough and plane it to size, but this time, when planing my raw cherry to size, I'm getting some significantly darker boards than others. The general color of the rough stock is as close to the same color as any other lot of boards I've worked with, so I'm a little confused.
My question is, will these boards darken to the same color over time? I'm building two Morris chairs (I know I should have used QSWO) and will finish them with several coats of BLO and satin lacquer spray. I don't want to have a finished project that has significantly different colors in it.
I'm a new member here and not sure if I outlined the problem correctly, please let me know if there are other details I need to provide. Thanks for you help!
