Other ways to stain wood:
I've been looking into more tannins, and although ebonizing the wood with the steel wool and vinegar seems the most interesting to me, here are a few others i plan on trying our too:
Dark tea: Use about 10+ tea bags, and let soak in boiled water for 2-3 hours. Use the tea-stained water as a dye.
Liquid bleach: Using a rag, apply liquid bleach to the wood surface.
Fruit juice: Juices such as raspberry or grape, but colour may go brown.
Food colourings: Bright coloured food dyes.
Shoe polish: To create a very dark ebonized look
Red wine: To create a deep brown/maroon colour.
