    Default Retaining "pinks" in Camphor

    Gday all

    I have some camphor slab. It has some beautiful pink "cushion" in areas.

    I have made some clock and tea candle stands previous. The pinks have been "lost".

    Have tried a number of finishes. Poly, Danish oils etc.

    The best has probably been the "Gillies Rose cream" in looking natural.

    Though still the pink is dulled down to a lightish brown.

    Any tips appreciated.

    cheers Bob

    Even if you got a finish that would retain the pinks, the sunlight would get them, I've found it retains the deeper reds, oranges and greens but the pinks disappears.
