    Black Trans Tint dye for ebonizing maple or popular?

    I would like to make some miniature bat house ornaments (birdhouse ornaments with orange walls and black roof) but I can't afford ebony for the roof. How well does black Trans Tint dye work for ebonizing the maple or popular roof? What application method works best?

    Black Walnut Platter

    This is made from a large plank of sapwood, which I ebonized using vinegar and steel wool. I never could have afforded the heartwood. All of it was turned into gunstocks, and the sawmill operator earned a years pay out of the one log.
