Pink that Won't Last

I carved a new spoon from plum wood using my favorite design:

Before you start wondering about the pink color of wood, I'll tell you what it will look like in a few months. You can see this spoon from the same log on the picture below. The end of the handle is not completely brown yet because I store it in a cup handle down, so the light does not shine on it very much.

So the only way to keep the bright colors is to store the spoon in a dark room and keep it away from the daylight forever :)
