Interesting happenings within these two jars. Both jars are new, never used. Each contain the same amount of vinegar from the same bottle. Each contain one half of a full steel wool pad that I cut, washed and rinsed equally. So why do they look so different? Each had been made at the same time. I just made a third mixture in another new jar so I’ll compare. I’ll keep you posted on this and also the results when I use this mixture along with Quebracho bark powder on Ash. So any guess on what happened in the jar on the left?

Pretty hard to say, though one can trot out the usual suspects. Were the two jars stored in the same place, differences in light and temperature, or in the amount of agitation? Were both jars new, clean jars, or might they have held different materials previously? Was rust on the steel wool pads equal in proportion to begin?
All things equal start to finish. That's why I'm puzzled. I'd like to know if anyone else has ever seen a similar reaction that is seen in the left jar. If so what do you think may have caused this reaction?Timberwerks Studio Blog

Ebonized Ash sample turned out well. It was a quick test, finished piece will be even better.
