Dark Walnut Stain

I applied this stain to an Enfield stock and initially liked it, but it is VERY dark - at least on my particular project, and the wood on the Enfields varies greatly, so results can vary greatly. But, the color was way to dark, obscured what little natural wood grain was visible in the stock, and even looked a bit green. So, I had to start over with another stain brand in "dark walnut." However, once I did all that, I coverd it all in multiple coats of Gun Sav'r Hunter Satin Custom Oil. That product is outstanding,
