I don't speak french, though I was taught 3 Years at school. But that is 28 years ago.

In Germany you'd say: Über Geschmack kann man nicht streiten. The same meaning like the Latin phrase.

Like all natural red tones, it will vanishing to a darker red and ending in a dep brown.
I'll try to keep it in my UV-light free basement shop, so the color will stay a bit longer.

Regarding the color:

on this pictiure you can see our new "very fine saw" side by side to a gents saw handled rasp.
Both the same padauk as the #12 handle. But the rasp handle is 5 years old.

I like it, it gives color to a colorless tool.  Now if you did all your tools that way it might look really neat

I am pretty sure I have the Die for that screw that I got from a guy here who was selling them.  I will check and loan it to you when I find it but can not go out in the garage for a few more weeks.
