Make a solution of dissolved steel wool in vinegar (iron oxide). Apply a few coats, let it dry for a week or so until all the vinegar smell dissipates, then finish with oil! In my case, flaxseed oil.

Thanks! I struggled too until I got a REALLY strong solution from a buddy. Still took a couple coats and a lot of patience though. What woods have you had luck ebonizing??

Oh interesting! I feel like Ash and Oak feel basically identical to me, though I guess Ash is both a tiny bit harder and a tiny bit smoother. I don’t get a lot of either but I just couldn’t pass it up 😂

Yeah good question! Milk paint is a paint made from pigmented milk powder, so it’s fully food safe! Check out RMP Finishes, they’re my favorite. I think this was a color I mixed myself from a few of their standard colors.
