re: Ebonizing

That turned out very well. The process also sounds a lot more fun than just wiping on some black stain.

It looks like you got a bit more sheen out of the Rubio than I did. I’ve used it just once (on our kitchen table), and the resulting surface was very dull and sort of lifeless. I ended up applying Rubio Maintenance Oil to give it some life. Your finish looks good right out the gate.
