that will not work well with glued up oak "butcher block" stuff but it's a really cool thing to do with pine

While I would never have attempted to brew up my own wood stain, that looks pretty good and I applaud you your efforts in shunning modernity when not wiring the place with tens of miles of networking cable.

I think you just need to use a stronger acid like nitric or HF.

Soaking steel wool in vinegar produces iron acetate, which ebonizes oak when it comes into contact with it by reacting with the tannins naturally present in it. It's a well established, old school method to ebonize oak, but fell off with the invention of aniline dyes sometime in the 19th century. Like all stains it's not a finish on its own, once you have an actual finish on it the color and appearance will probably change for the better.

ohhh, that's right it's not iron oxide poo poo and I bet that accounts for the variation too, some of that oak is gonna be different trees all mixed and matched, so more or less tannin, whereas if you just do one plank of oak that's all heartwood from one tree it'd be way more consistent

You should make your own aniline dyes instead then. How hard can this be?

I like the eboneezered wood Everyone complaining about it is a Scrooge Perhaps use a shellac to protect it? That should provide a nice hard wearing shiny surface Those screw in floor mounted hep2o fittings are the most insane thing on this build, bravo.

If the wood looks good when it's wet just have your house brain spray it with a fine mist of water every time the moisture drops below a certain threshold.

This house is built as if a child was asked to draw and design a house, but only after watching cartoons and the "pipes" screensaver from Windows 1995. Crazy that an adult man in the year 2024 thought this was all a good idea.

Messing with some more leftover bits of freebie oak for the finishing in the utility WC [  Oiling up my ebony  looking good Also got some more discount oak worktops delivered. Its becoming a problem   Drilled a hole through from the utility room to the WC to connect up the cistern. tested and good.  So that pipe won't be visible on the right side as all thats getting covered up with kitchen units. But I also need to take the waste back through to pick up the washing machine and utility sink on the right. But its all a bit tight. I google the kitchen I've ordered and its supposed to have a 42mm services void at the back. Which is fine for the water pipe. But the waste is like 43mm external diameter before youve even hung it off the wall on brackets.... So hows that supposed to work? Also googling it the washing machine I want to put there is like properly 600 deep, no gap at the back so its going to stick out like by at least 50mm. There sin't space there for that before it interferes with the WC door.  ffs why wasn't this figured out earlier? So I email the child I had design the place and ask what the plan was.  Yeah thats not gonna work you dipshit I threten to tell his mum and he suggests this instead  So i guess were doing that now Means I've got to pick up the water connection from under that blue arrow on the right and come back through the mario wall. This connector was for the plumbed in fridge that makes ice. Can T off   Its pretty shameful and an obvious sign that this was not thought about earlier, but I'm gonna have to take the waste straight out the back wall and connect into the sewer outside underground    several trips to toolstation later...  get a wheelbarrow of gravel from my gravel reserves   as seen on dragons den!  They don't work. My holes are too rough sort out the rest later
