    Watyll produce a range of spirit stains, I have used them successfully.
    Ebonising can be enhanced by painting on a coat of very strong tea, Soak three tea bags in a cup of boiling water an let it cool. Brush the brew on and let it dry. The tanins in the tea will enhance the effect of the ebonising brew. This will work especially well on jacaranda, bit late For this project I know.

    yep, I tried the tea after i'd already done a few coats of ebonising solution, and then reapplied more ebonising. Not sure if it helped or not. Will give it a proper go on next bowl, or maybe a jac box. will post results when i get time to have another go.
