Meaning of "ebonizing" in English

"Ebonizing" refers to a wood-finishing process that involves staining wood to make it resemble the color and appearance of ebony, a dense black hardwood. This process enhances the aesthetic appeal of more readily available woods by giving them a luxurious, dark finish. Typically, this is achieved using a combination of stains or dyes and sometimes involves the use of chemical reactions between tannins and iron. Ebonizing is popular in furniture making and interior design, where a high-end look is desired without the cost or environmental impact of using actual ebony.
