Ebonizing - Water Base & 2-Stage Turbines

[itsallrigid]

how much did the turbine cost ?

Im building a drum set (maple shells) what to get them black and then put on a tung oil finish or a simi gloss finish. Will your ebonizing process work with maple and one of the above finishes?

thanks so much

Great video - just what I needed as I'm getting ready to ebonize a shelf. One question I had - are you just adding the whole bottle of india ink to the can of General Finish Black stain? (Coincidentally had both on hand before starting project.)

@JMUBrew usually just a good "slug', will do it, but just do a test and if it needs a little add it,, not an issue, just remember that india ink is real serious black, wear some gloves... trust me...

[JMUBrew]

can you apply the water base stain and the india ink mixture with a cloth?

[InTheWorkshop]

yes you can use a cloth , but wear gloves, that india ink is serious , once on any thing, it doesnt go away, its a true black , and like said it takes itself real serious

The local woodcraft has your video featured in their own display in the front of the store. Congrats and keep up the great vids.

Thanks! We're working hard to keep them coming, had a lull in on-line videos while we tackled the Finishing series. Good to know that our friends at Woodcraft are supporting the DVDs and woodworking education.
