re: POWER WAGON

Terrific job and the vinegar/steelwool is the way to go for the ebonizing mixture.  I use "cleaning vinegar" which is a bit more stringent than kitchen white vinegar.  You can get it at Lowes or HD or Menards.  I also use fine steel wool since I find it  reduces better.  Other wise, you got a great ebony finish.  What was the species used for the tires?
