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!!
