Chuck, Wick, thanks for this thread.
As per usual, Wick, your craftsmanship is inspiring.
I have had mixed results with vinegaroon, with my first batch giving me a wonderful black, and the last one more of a gray. I suspect the cause is the iron I used being this and that.
Chuck, the black tea pre-treat makes a lot of sense. Cannot wait to try it.

Beautiful job, Wick. Another fine piece of your work that has me scratching my head about things I did that I once considered "nice" quality.
