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: Threads aren't exactly particularly related.
gollark: Chrome has its own *process manager*, but Chrome is stupid.
gollark: Especially if you want working JS, CSS, videos etc.
