As beautiful as QS Sycamore is. I don't think a whole box or much of any project could stand all QS Sycamore. It's really better left for smaller pieces with another wood as the prime. A QS Sycamore coffee table for instance would be overwhelming, but a drawer front on a walnut or cherry coffee table would work. -

You need to be aware that fuming is done mostly on White Oak... I've never seen it done on Red Oak. Probably because Red Oak has way more open pores and It wouldn't fume evenly. That's just a guess.

But so far no one seems to get the Panama red part. Maybe they're all to young.

You are correct ammonia fuming is just to darken the wood it is not a protection finish. The piece below was fumed then hit with a coat of garnet shellac before having a film finish applied for protection, in this case waterlox Here are samples of what fuming did to this white oak. The bottom is fuming at 0, 2, 4, & 6 hour intervals under the tent. The middle is fuming with one coat of garnet shellac and the top is fuming, 1 coat garnet shellac, and 3 coats of Waterlox
