However an ENGLISH friend of mine told me that he only uses Logwood without ferrous sulfate in the boiling. Has any of you barrel finishers used Logwood without ferrous sulfate and if so, how did it look? Last edited by Stallones; 07/12/10 12:30 PM.

If you leave the barrels in the boiling water with the copper sulfate too long, the etching will continue. Too long to me is anyhing over 7 seconds in room temperature distilled water with the echant. David

The Ferrous Sulfate wash definitely helped remove the logwood black uniformly and I did use the Ferrous sulfate in the heated tank after using Ferric Chloride solution to enhance the figure/ Drew, is this categorized a twist barrel also?
