Ebony Discoloration

[Roger Jolly]

Hi Dave,
        The dye that we use is Fiebings. Note the 24hr. dry time and 0000
steel wool rub, we also mist coat them with satin Varathane. They stay
looking good for a long time with no problems. Note MIST coat as no flaking
of the finish takes place. This is definitely a case of less is better.
