I wanted to see how differant wood reacted to the ebonising solution. Sat I put some schredded steel wool in a containier of vinager and let it sit for a couple a days. Today I took some wood and put it in the solution to see how each one would react.
ther wood is from left to right, Mahogany, red Oak and maple. the oak and maple I just dunked in for a few minutes and the mahogany I let soak for an hour or so. I cut the mahogany in half to see how far it penetrated.
I'll play around with these and other species of wood and vary the soak times and let you know the results. I want to let the solution age a little longer , they say it won't reach full potency till it's a week old.
