Just Pinned to wood working things furniture and design ideas: Ash Tapered Bench by Michael Fortune — Fortune made the tapered parts for this pair of ash benches with bandsaw jigs that also pass through the planer. He left one bench natural, and finished the other using a three-step process: “Household black tea (introduces tannin into the wood) is brushed onto the wood, steel wool and vinegar impart the black color, and deep red mahogany stain is burnished into the black.” The topcoat is a clear spray lacquer., see it here https://ift.tt/2XJ0xMN #furniture #maker
