Ebonizing
Of course once again I forgot to take before pics!
But you get the idea from the legs of this table!
A typical Varnished drop leaf table!
I sanded it down to the bare wood!
Made a mixture of steel wool and vinegar!
Put several coats of this on the top of the table, this is called "Ebonizing"
After the solution set in I did a wash of watered down white chalk paint! so it kind of looks like "Driftwood!"
I dropped it off to the artist who did this sand dollar on this table! I can't wait to see what she does next! I will keep you posted!!

This is a very solid old piece!
However it was badly stained on top and a little bit smelly!
Almost forgot to take "before" pics!
I hardly ever paint anything black!
but this being such a masculine piece it needed a strong solid color!
moved it into the shop to start some Fall Vignettes
I love the little bit of distressing and the "new" vintage glass knob
A Strong solid Finish for this Old Sturdy Piece!
