Great video Chad, always building, always helping others become a better woodworker! Finishing always seems to be an apprehensive subject, and the more knowledge imparted, the better. Thanks for all you do.

The tree bark is high in tannins. That's the entire thing. It adds more tannins to the solution, for a more intense reaction. I haven't tried it, but I would imagine just adding a shot of really super strong black tea to the solution would yield the same results. Or just soaking the wood in strong black tea and letting it dry off before applying the solution. More tannins, better black.

My favorite wood-stain-topcoat method is Mahogany with Tung oil and Ruby or Garnet Shellac. This ebonizing stain will work perfect for my current project. Im making a Mahogany Tea cabinet on stand and this will be perfect for the leg base. thxs for the video.

Hey Chad..have you heard about India ink? It’s fairly inexpensive and does the same ebonizing effect on wood, without the 10 days wait. It works instantly and comes out jet black. I did several table tops using it and was very happy. I got the India ink on Amazon. Give it a try. Love your videos! Thank you for putting them out 😀

I imagine the tree powder adds more tannins for the vinegar and steel to react with breaking off carbon ions from the steel wool and allows it to rust into nothing giving off a dark color My 2 cents

Great video, Chad - great to get some new approaches, particularly the use of the tree bark. I have experimented in the past with strong brewed tea and didn't have a lot of success. I think it might be worth noting that some steel wool is waxed so you should try to get non-waxed or remove the wax. Also, wondering how deep the stain goes in this process. Does the wetting of the wood cause the grain to raise, and if so, can you sand without losing any of the color?
@ChadStanton
3 жыл бұрын
YOu make some great points there. Brian Boggs in the article mentions to wet the wood down and sand it when dry, several times. Because yes this process will be quite wet. As for me, i didn't do that but i was able to knock it down afterward and didn't lose any of the color.

The stain you used to show black stain isn't really black wasn't black to begin with, was "ebony", as clearly marked on the tin. Ebony is not black, it is very dark brown, as you should expect due to the presence of tannin. To make a fair comparison use a black stain, not an ebony stain. Do this and you will find out that black stains are even blacker than your homemade one, and a lot less hassle and expense.
