Brilliant piece of work ---wish my ebonizing would turn out like that, do you use white vinegar and iron filings to make the solution?

 

[bobman]

Thanks Jon I use white vinegar and fine wire wool

Claymore I've been scrolling for about 4 years I used to make wooden models before that ,to make the tyres black I ebonised them using a solution of white vinegar and fine wire wool you pour some white vinegar into a jar and add some fine wire wool leave it for a few days then strain it off brush it on to you wood and it turns it black but it only works on certain woods eg. Walnut oak mahogany sapele etc hope this helps

Bob,
Very impressive work with such nice detail.
Out of interest, and because rounding over of Intarsia has recently been mentioned here, how do you round over your pieces ?
