: Hi Bryan,

: Ebonzing. It's a chemical that's applied to the wood that turns it
: black, or nearly so. Normally it's done with a container of
: white vinegar with steel wool disolved in it. If you add a few
: tea bags to the mix they add tannin to the mix so it darkens
: ceder more easily. There are other things that help, email me
: off the list and I'll send you some stuff that'll help, I bought
: a several lifetime supply by mistake .

: Bill H.

Thanks, Bill. I'm leaning towards a deep deep walnut after seeing the black pearl on Ross's forum.
