Ebonising

Ebonising is a process for darkening wood, giving it an appearance similar to ebony, hence the name.

It is particularly used for pianos and fine furniture.

Processes

One process uses iron dissolved in vinegar as the darkening agent. The ferric acetate thus formed reacts with the tannin in the wood.[1][2]

gollark: <@!330678593904443393> You would pass it 6 register indices.
gollark: 32 registers would probably allow room for more fun stuff, like the program metacounter register.
gollark: Unless I decide to upgrade to 32 registers, in which case it would only allow 5 max.
gollark: Very late, but PotatoASM can probably handle syscalls of up to 6 parameters, which is surely enough for ANY possible usecase, through passing a bunch of register indices as operands to the `SYSC` instruction.
gollark: It's annoying that my internet connection is so bad right now.
