These pics show another round of sanding and ebonizing. I've been using SamaN products (an "eco-friendly" product for coats 1 & 2). But my final ebonizer is with Minwax, and the last pics show application and then wipe off. When this is dry (by tomorrow) I will seal the table struts by using a Lee Valley Tung Oil, which is wiped on and then burnished off.
