I have a salad bowl set and a small perfume bottle holder made from Myrtle wood. They are all about the color of walnut (a dark brown). I am making a small project from Myrtle wood for the first time to see how it works. The wood is light with some interesting darker streaks and some grey areas. Does anyone know what stain one would use to get the dark brown appreance? I tried Watco dark walnut, but that doesn't even come close. Thanks, Doug Keener
