I have been turning buckeye burl for years now. The finish turns it yellow. I use Master's spray lacquer from Craft's Supply. Does anyone know of a different finish that will not turn it yellow? Appreciate any help.

I don’t get it. Buckeye is yellow when finish is applied.
That’s why people buy it. Also gets black streaks when aged with moisture or you spread mayo on it and put under black plastic in heat of day for a month.
While I don’t have much data on it over a long period of time, I have experimented with Osmo Oil over the past several months and been surprised at how little it effects the color of the madrone, maple and black acacia pieces I’ve tried it on. Not a high gloss finish, but can be overcoated with wax for a soft luster. I do like the way it doesn’t darken the wood significantly while still highlighting the grain.
