If you need extra tanine in any kind of wood you can buy tanine and apply it to any wood you wann ebonize then after it dries out a bit apply solution interchangeably to make it black. This procedure is man made. There is also original procedure for doing it but that procedure takes a lot of time. One example of original ebonization is bog oak or any kind of wood that doesn't have to be oak dug out from bog. What happens in bog is simple. You have a lot of tanine that dissolved from pieces of oak or and kind of wood rich with tanine, you also have iron acetate in bog water. Iron acetate which is reddish reacts with tanine and as result wood ebonizes and turns black over period of centuries and since there is no air after so long wood pulled out from bog needs to be stabilized or it will fall appart.
Thank you. I actually post a vid recently about options for coloring wood where I discuss more details, but in short, I typically use Feibing's leather dye for bright colors. If you'd like to see more about it, here's a link to the vid: th-cam.com/video/lJWf2biyQds/w-d-xo.htmlsi=65_e03W1F79FFUlm
I do have an Etsy listing for house colored wands, but I believe the specific wand in this video has been sold. Every wand I make is a little different, but I do have a yellow and black wand available: nemesisgear.etsy.com/listing/1418512593 Thanks for your support!
go Hufflepuff !!

Very well done!! The ebonizing solution lets the natural grain show through beautifully!!
What brand/ type dye are you using? It really pops!!

Still waiting to buy on web page!?
