DIY Wood Stabilize System?

[Crooked Stic]

I found out the blackwood is oily so would likely not take on juice and probably contaminate it

I wonder how BLACK you could get it in the Vacuum chamber Stic.?????????

[Crooked Stic]

This one is 4 oz. in a gallon (max recommended) The really dense part may not take color. Soft may be different.

Using black dye in the chamber the wood will come out gray .

[Crooked Stic]

If you dont use enough dye charcoal of gray would be correct. If you dry it per instructions and vac to no or very little bubbles and soak at least twice as long as you kept the pump running. the parts not too dense will be black.

Could always add more dye after it's finished too.

African Black is a DARK brown but looks almost Black

[Crooked Stic]

Might try smearing some dye before any sealer and see what happens.

[Crooked Stic]

Pretty good looks like color got thru

[Mad Max]

Yep

One chunk of walnut. And some quarter sawen Sycamore curing With black dye. Will get it cleaned up next week very interesting looking how the soft parts got totally black.
