Interesting, thanks for that. I'll do some research into that but I had been thinking of an off the shelf product - could be tricky to get consistent colour with a home-made solution I'm guessing.
Also, it's to do one new section and one old section (although not right next to each other). As stripped, they have quite different patinas and I'd be concerned that they'd look very different after staining. Was thinking maybe a gel stain? Anyone with experience of those?

How dark?

I've made some of this, with multiple applications you can get pretty dark, of course you'd need to oil or poly the finish.
