Tannic Acid Source

Is the powdered tannin used in winemaking the same as tannin sold in
woodworking shops? If so, the winemaking source is a fraction of the price.

Thanks,
Brad

Same stuff, yes. But I'd bet it isn't _nearly_ as strong. I don't think you'll
save money using it.

Get some oak chips or oak bark.

Get some Eucalyptus. I rough turned a green bowl and my lathe was blue.
Turned a second and my lathe was black!
