Hi guys,
I'm finishing the construction of a music stand (a wedding present for my brother and his wife). Pictures of the current stage are attached, It's kind of a blend of shaker and modern, centered around a beautiful piece of mahogany for the music support.
As you can see from the picture, I have some nice ebony trim that is (temporarily for now) attached. Because the mahogany parts are such different colors, I'm planning to stain them with an aniline dye to even out the tones and get a (hopefully) rich brown color. But I don't want to stain the ebony. Can I glue the ebony after staining? Will the stain interfere with the glue adhering? Also, do I need to do any special prep to get glue to stick to ebony?
Thanks
