a trick that works for me is hit it with rusty chains, gives it a nice used look

so did you only use the vinegar and steel wool? an i dont get how u apply it? dose the steel wool brake down in the vinegar? sorry for being a pain

No pain ,glad to see people interested in my creations.
I put on the solution with a paint brush and immediately wiped it with a rag.
Yes the vinegar brakes down the steel wool ,but nog completely.
If you search "ebonizing and vinegar" on google you will find more details.

The vinegar steel wool mix doesn't smell like vinegar and the smell it did have wore off in a few days.
I didn't even know there was dark vinegar.
I used the normal transparent type my girlfriend has in the kitchen.
I will love to see some pics if you make one.
Succes.
