I want to ebonize (Blacking) some wood for some small boxes I'm making. What is the best wood for this and what kind of dye, powder, liquid, vinegar and steel wool?
If vinegar and steel wool, how is a batch made.
Do you seal the wood first or let it soak in. (the latter seems to make more sense)
What finish can be applied over it.
Is drying time an issue.
I tried some RITE cloth dye on a piece of veneer without success.
I want a fairly smooth finish so I'm not going to use much oak.
Thanks
