I probably just haven't been paying attention. But, does varnish darken with time?
Today, I watched a recorded Roy Underhill show about making Adirondack type furniture. They showed some original 1850 furniture that was almost black. The owner explained that it took that color over time because the varnish finish naturally darkens with time.
Is this still true with modern varnishes?
