The enobizing process would not effect the wax treatment. If you haven't done ebonizing in the past be aware that maple has very little tanin content, essential to the process. Most of what I've read relates that ebonizing maple using that method has pretty marginal results."



 





Thanks Rudy,



I'll probably go the veneer route as well in that case.

The standard Keller 11" shell is actually 10-7/8" in diameter which works out nicely for adding a outer veneer.
