Erick, I did my wood last year, and made a mistake. There were, and are, I think, more than one stain used on the wood. I blindly followed the advice of someone who suggested the use of mahogany stain, and found it was too close in color to the cognac on my dash. I should have used a darker stain, which would have provided a more attractive contrast. The wood is a visual point of interest on your car, and you want it to be noticed.
The lesson I learned is that one should apply some of the stain to a piece of test wood and see how that looks next to his dash material before using that stain for his dash wood.
