Ebonizing Finish Add-On

$9.95

Ebonizing is a specialized technique used to darken wood, imparting an appearance reminiscent of ebony – hence the term "ebonizing". This process uses a chemical reaction between iron and tannic acid to produce a black dye that deeply penetrates the wood. Unlike traditional stains that merely coat the wood surface and clog the grain, ebonizing immerses deep into the wood, altering its color but preserving the natural grain appearance. This method prevents the fading often associated with conventional dyes and stains. The unique black coloring achieved through ebonizing is unparalleled and stands as a time-honored method for achieving a deep black finish.

Note: This is an Add-On. You must also purchase a frame.

We are proud to offer two ebonizing finishes:

  1. Light Ebonizing: At a distance, this finish appears completely black. However, upon closer inspection and under light, the wood's natural hue slightly peeks through. For instance, with walnut, there's a faint undertone of brown – a nuance that enhances the frame's character.

  2. Full Ebonizing: This finish offers an intense black, ensuring no other colors seep through. Its captivating look consistently draws admiration.

The ideal wood types for ebonizing include ash, cherry, walnut, QS white oak, and maple. For those desiring a deep black finish, cherry is recommended for its soft grain texture, and ash for its coarse grain. When opting for light ebonizing, the choice depends on the preferred wood hue and grain texture that you wish to subtly display. Notably, when QSWO undergoes ebonizing, its distinct "rays" reflect light differently, presenting well in both full and light ebonizing. Hickory is particularly striking with full black ebonizing, especially when chosen for a rustic or heavy rustic hickory frame.

*Please note that ebonizing is an additional option for frame selection; it's not available as a standalone purchase.
