Hmmmmmm

Having seen some pix on the intersphere I may just have to give Van Dyke a try .
. . . . I like that it’s “gradable” but having seen some projects that were
“ebonized” with Mann’s VD crystals, I may just go for that look. Not trying to
pull of an ebony workbench of course, but making it look like the ones at Old
Town Salem’s workbench museum, i.e. 200+ years of oxidation, sweat, and work,
where the whole bench looks like an old wooden plane black with mutton tallow .
