I built a piece for our new office at our home with a top of ambrosia maple. Finished with danish oil.
Since the piece would sit as ready-to-assemble components in my shop for a long time before final install, I used cauls to keep the top flat while I waited.
Yesterday, when I finally installed in my office, the spots where the cauls were placed are very noticeably lighter than the rest of the top. I ended up sanding and re-applying oil to the entire top to remedy the situation.
In the future, how should I store a top in a situation like this so that I can avoid the issue?
Thanks!!
