Apparently not, at least not with the rust+vinegar method. In both photos, the piece of bamboo
on the left is the control sample (original state), the piece on the right has been soaked overnight in ebonizing solution - virtually no change took place.
If you have had success with another method please share it via comments!
One of the things I like about the ebonizing process is that you get a pretty fair indication of how reactive the timber is within a few minutes. Any timber that gets noticeably darker after a quick brush with ebonizing solution is going to go very dark with a thorough soaking or repeated brush applications.
