I picked up a couple of pieces of what I think was a Juniper tree from son in law's home in Minneapolis. The tree was in his back yard and has juniper type berries. When I cut into it the heart wood is crimson and the sap wood is white. How can I keep this color from fading to brown like it did on the open ends of the log? What make the red turn brown anyway? Is it an oxidation process or the effect of UV light causing some kind of chemical reaction in the pigment.
Thanks for your thoughts.
