I'm in the process of making a side table/end table out of cherry and noticed some significant color differences between the top and the rest of the table. The top is made from some cherry that is nearly 100 years old and the remainder is relatively new that I got from Glenn this summer. The old cherry was rough sawn so I was assuming, apparently incorrectly, that after planing it wouldn't be that dark. After applying BLO, The top is darker, somewhat reddish compared to the brown bottom. It doesn't look bad, just unexpectedly different. Any thoughts on if the bottom will eventually darken to match top? If I can remember how to do pictures I'll post a few in the next few days.
