Re: Maintaining the red color in wood

High Performance Top Coat is the hardest, most durable consumer polyurethane
top coat on the market today. It contains all the consumer friendly
characteristics of PolyAcrylic Blend. In addition it contains a UV
Stabilizer to protect it from breaking down in sunlight and to protect the
underlying stains from fading. And with its pure polyurethane durability, it
can even be used on floors. This is the most durable product. Not
recommended for outdoor use.
The product is sold At Woodcraft of Rockler, it is made by General
Finishes. Non yellowing.

I would like to build a table with a red top: Cocobolo, Bloodwood, Padauk
or
Bubinga. I only want to invest the time and money if I can keep the color
of the wood (nearly) as red as when it is freshly finished. I presume that
the darkening that I have observed is due to UV exposure.

Will ordinary lacquer block the UV or is there a blocker that can be
added?
Is there some other finish that will prolong the retention of the original
color.

Cheers,

Larry
