Does the wood from a Chinese elm tree lose its color after its cut

Question

We want to use slices of the trunk for wood project because it’s interior is very pretty.

Answer 1

I didn't see any research that said it loses color, but that it can be an unstable wood to work with and has a low resistance to decay while drying. If you peruse some of the woodworking sites online you can learn more.
