I only wish there was a way to keep that bright orange. Turns dark within a few months after finishing.

Sure it's a beautiful wood, but there are two things I don't like about it. First is that you have to be very careful if you glue this wood to something lighter, like maple. When you sand it, the dust can actually color the other wood. Second, it's imperative you wear a dust mask or even better a respirator. It's listed as a sensitizer on a lot of toxic wood lists. Otherwise, yes, it's a beautiful wood.
