Stain has pigments that lodge in the crevasses of the wood (grain, pores, bad sanding ) Dye enters far deeper basically coloring the cells. Dye will add color and really highlight the grain without muddying it up like a stain will sometimes do. The kitchen cabinets you referred to were likely dyed, not stained. Some trees have more dark grains vs light grains. The only other conclusion I can think of is the actual DNA of the tree. Forgive me if I make obvious statements or odd comments as I'm not familar working with this kind of veneer and/or staining process. Wondering if this is a different staining process or its a man made material to achieve that look. I have seen kitchen cabinet doors with zebrawood stained dark but still be able to see the lighter wood grain colour to show through without it being stained. On that note, feeling the Tung oil may help show the variation in wood grains better but thinking it may still leave it to light for the room and blends in with the carpet (i.e beige) The wood conditioner was slightly better but still found that the light grains did not show well. I recently tested this dark stain and found that even with and without wood conditioner treatment the wood grains became less visible. What I would like to achieve is have the veneer appear 75/25% dark vs light with the hopes of using a dark stain. However the current panel has 50/50% dark and light wood grains, which seem to be the standard look. I really would like to have these wood grains pop out on the front of the bar. I would like to find a stain colour that will allow me to show more dark wood grains without filling in the white grain areas of this veneer.
