How to get a dark stain on cabinets made of Maplewood?
Use Red Mahogany oil based stain. Oil stains are very easy to apply. Apply thick and liberal coats evenly over the entire surface. As this stain remains wet for a longtime, you can take your time to apply and wipe off any excess too. Maplewood is hardwood and therefore takes lot of time to take in the stain. You need to apply many coats of the stain to get the desired effect.
