so reading up on how woods change color with time due to sunlight (slowly in the house, or fast outside), cherry as example says turned a deep burgundy red after a couple of hours, beauty only skin deep though
so naturally, i would want to try this on a pen or 2 :biggrin: but given weather in this state, i won't be seeing sun for a few months likely, and either way curious if i can use unnatural means and do it indoors, plus allows more control
so from what i read it seems to be the UV light that does it? so a box, cover inside with foil to reflect on all angles of a pen, drop in a UV light? thoughts?
i happen to have 40 UV LEDS :biggrin: but only 5000mcd, wavelength says 395-405nm but given they're from china and on the cheap end, i would assume a bit off, and 400nm is limit of human sight :biggrin: think combined they put out enough UV? find another source? idea is a crock?:biggrin: thoughts!
