I’ve used chestnut shellac based sealer on ash then covered in fiddes finishing wax on cabinets and it gives a nice even satin and non-yellowing finish

You’re right the wood does react with UV light, the best finishes to prevent yellowing contain colourants that prevent the UV getting to the wood, I use Osmo raw oil on light woods it’s a milky colour when you open the tin due to these colourants.I always thought it was the wood reacting to UV light, as most wood does, so I was hoping that you had managed to stop that with your finish. Ho-hum back to the drawing board, cheers Ian
