    Yep..it looks like what ebonising solution (steelwool and vinegar) does to Camphor laurel..
    somebody on the forum will probably know what the chemical reaction is..but it only affects the tannin in the wood, hence the sapwood remaining unaffected..

    what if the hokey pokey is really what it's all about?

    Thanks, undie. "Ebonizing," you call it. I made some. Tried it. Stinks like yesterday's chips.

    The most common woods for their furniture would be the Oaks (Quercus) = lots of tannins. I suppose the solution would have been iron acetate but no ideas what the tannin reactions would be. Hickories (Carya sp.) and Elms (Ulmus sp.) were used also. Going further west and north, the veg. changes with a bigger softwood component (Spruce, Pine & Fir), low in tannins.
