I went to an auction a few months ago. There was a pile of 100bf of cherry no one was bidding on and I thought it had to be worth $25...
Well, now I am planing it for a project and find that much of it looks like this...

It isn't sapwood, it is two toned heartwood; never seen anything like it before. Will it even out over time, or will both parts get darker?
This project doesn't need any novelty wood; if it will stay this way I will save it for something "special" and buy more wood.
