Default Ebonizing wood

I have several species of hard, close-grained wood I would like to try to
ebonize. How is this done? Is it simply a dye, or are there other
processes/methods? Does it depend upon the species of wood? (the two I'm
looking at right now are some pieces of particularly hard and tight grained
walnut, and some African pear).


India Ink if you don't mind a purplish tint.
