One of the folks in our club recently did a presentation on ebonizing using iron acetate (hi Steve!), which made me wonder how that coloration holds up on pieces that get washed and used for food. My first concern would be funky flavor or odor, but after that would be whether the color would hold. Got any experience with this? My usual top coat for washable pieces is either walnut or flaxseed oil.
