Need suggestion for finish on just completed red aromatic cedar chest. Would like to prevent changing the sapwood to an amber tone. Thanks for your suggestions.

I think the point of using aromatic cedar is so that it stays aromatic.
So inside the chest, apply nothing. Outside you could apply shellac, poly, lacquer or whatever.
Sounds like a good plan...I had not thought of the unfinished idea. Thanks a lot!
