Brushed on as a tannin wash before an iron-acetate strike, it pulls the wood toward black from the inside. Practitioners reach for it in the same workflow as the brushes and steel wool; it earns its place on this page through how it's used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse below.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"lily-varnishers-brush-set-of-3","title":"Lily Varnisher's Brush — Set of 3","description":"\u003cp\u003eLily Varnisher's brush — set of three.
