It is not JUST the newbies that are impressed. This old fart is quite impressed as well and a little bit envious. You have the patience to pursue excellence that I have always lacked. I let myself be too driven by the lust for completion.

Great job Mike.
I do have to ask some questions regarding the chemicals you use.
Electrolysis, etching, darkening, etc. What do you do with the leftovers? I'm a little gun shy on the chemical processes, mostly due to the hazmat that results from the process. I don't like having it around if I don't use it regularly, and disposing of some of this stuff is a bit troublesome.
How do you handle the hazardous waste leftovers?

You take it to a fast food restaurant and they add it to their deep fry cooking oil...
I had an order of onion chips at a nearby White Castle about a month ago that had obviously been cooked in these very materials...

Thanks much guys!!! This was a fun project.
terry...regarding the chemicals disposal, there is a hazmat waste disposal facility close to me. Electrolysis bath isn't a hazmat. It's only baking soda, iron, and water. That gets poured on the lawn under the pine trees. Ferric choride and the darkening solution I'll drop off at waste disposal. Quantities are small enough where it's free.

Been watching your posts on this project from the beginning to the finished product and must say I am impressed. Someone would have to read all that was involved to really appreciate it. It can well be a heirloom passed down to one who truly loves woodworking and is one of a kind for sure. Kudos for a simple but very detailed project.
