This year’s Christmas ornament design is under way in the wood shop. In keeping with a shift toward sustainable production, and eliminating VOC chemicals from processes, the finish on this year’s ornament will be a natural ebonizing stain. Household vinegar rapidly oxidizes steel creating a compound that react s with the natural tanins in the wood. Initially, the ebonizing stain goes on brown, but quickly deepens to a rich black that penetrates the wood. The black and white design, while not a traditional colour combination for the holiday season, will bring a unique style to home decorations.
