Color change over time:
Brazilian Cherry is a brownish-red color when it is freshly sanded and finished which darkens to a deep reddish brown.  Some light yellow pieces may not change.

Finishing:
This wood is easy to finish and does not require any special treatment.  The yellowing effect of oil-based finishes adds life and warmth to this red wood.  To prevent the yellowing effect use a water-bases finish.
