CUSTOMER CREATIONS
Ebonising wood with Staffordshire Black isn't just about the blackness of it all. It's about design, nuance, contrast, impact, the overall feel of the finished product... or maybe it is just about the black - what do we know?

Dundee Woodturning
Aged by applying SB and sanding back to reveal the grain, Jack's carved sweet chestnut Mandalorian helmet is beautifully-done.
Steve Jenkin
Steve's ebonised oak drinks tray, with it's simple design and clean lines, is just in time for summer in the garden

Adrian Phillips
Crafted, ebonised and hand-painted by Arthur's Grandad, Adrian isn't sure of the wood but he's well chuffed with the outcome!
Jon Seymour
This stunning oak kitchen work surface makes for a bold statement in Jon's contemporary new offices, showing that SB isn't just for turners and whittlers!
Allan Rosewood
Apparently Allan doesn't do arty stuff very often, but if this spalted beech lidded pot is anything to go by, we think he should do more!
Tom Barker
This absolutely wonderful maple hollowform is topped with an aluminium lid and finished with three coats of lacquer to protect the carved detail.
Tony Morris
The detail of the grain in "fairly new turner" Tony's sycamore bowl is still allowed to shine through the ebonising.
@woodywoodcrafts
Woody has left a tiny bit of the original oak colour showing through this three-tier jewellery 'cauldron'.
Nick Madeley, aka The Flaming Turner
SB newbie Nick ebonises a couple of beech bowls and offers some opinions in this 12-min video.
@hugheswoodwork
Phillip has gone for the powerful contrasting look with this lovely, lovely cherry bowl
The Tiny Turner
Turned live on YouTube (see our How To page), Emma fully ebonised the bottom of this brown oak bowl and sanded back the rim to create a gorgeous aged look.

Paul said: "My first serious go with the SB Ebonsing Kit on ash. Very impressive." He's not wrong. This is great!
Dawn Jennings
Oak, finished with cellulose sanding sealer and melamine lacquer. Dawn applied just one round of TJ&EJ to give her pen an aged appearance.

"...it's an overcast day, there's a 150W studio lamp behind the camera, and I still had to go into lightroom to over expose the photo." - Nick

"I’m really impressed with Staffordshire black ebonising juice. Very easy to use and not expensive 👍"
@nottus_woodturning
Is he a gonk? Is he a gnome? Mark Sutton reckons he's the latter. Either way, he's ash ebonised with SB.
Jamie Shears, Cheam Woodturners Association
Jamie has ebonised this sycamore lid and mahogany finial, sitting atop a lovely 11" x 7" spalted beech form.

Gorm the Viking.
Sycamore through the ebonising stages, before sanding it back just a tad to age it.

A monster ash bowl, with the grain highlighted using coloured wax.

12" ash bowl, lacquered.
@richard_west_woodturner
Ebonised oak and gold leaf. Just two rounds of SB applications were enough to really reach that black.
@wrenleather
The 'real' ebony is the angled piece. What a great comparison!
