Hey guys, I posted earlier about a chestnut oak tree coming down. After splitting it, the inside has many different shades of browns(see pic) Does anyone know if this will stay in the wood after it dries? There are no signs of bugs, it's just the color. I like it and was hoping it would stay in. Please help this clueless newbie:) Thanks Sean |

Yes, it should stay and with finish be possibly a tad darker. |

Chestnut oak tends to be a deeper brown than White or Red, usually very pretty. it may get a bit lighter than you see now when dried but it will stay brown. |

When it dries it will be lighter, but when you put finish on it, it will get darker. |
