   Marine varnish has the property to protect against UV light. You can use it to prevent

   walnut fading.

   UV protection

   kustom.offcuts wrote:

   I want to finish a walnut dining table and want to prevent it from fading too much without staining it too much or not at all. I like the natural look of walnut. From the research I've done so far I've come to the conclusion to go with a few coats of natural Danish oil and then once dried go with a few coats of General Finishes Arm-R-Seal. Without using a marine varnish is that a good way to prevent or at least slow down the walnut fading from under the UV light of sunlight?

   Thanks in  advance!

   Beeswax is a good UVblocker.  Try a product like Tried & True Original Wood Finish...Beeswax  and linseed oil.

   +1 for beeswax, I love the results. Easy to apply and solid protection without changing the look of the wood.

   Just Oil

   I have built a few walnut projects and just used Tung Oil (polymerizing) as the finish. Most projects receive at least 5 and up to 10 coats depending on the amount of gloss and durability I am looking for.

   I have pieces that are over a decade old now and show no signs of fading.

   Just thought I'd throw this out there.

   Do you use filler to fill the pores in the wood or leave it natural? If so, what filler do you use?

   Well, mate, it'll probably sound strange, but you should visit this link: https://www.tldevtech.com/best-new-android-games/

   There are a couple of stupid android games, but one of them is specifically made by a woodcrafter to the woodcrafters. It includes different instructions for a furniture creating, including walnut finishing part.

   Hope it'll be helpful for ya, mate!
