Wood Stain?
bodrighywood:
Mo use calligraphy inks for a translucent look and blends the colours in situ to build up colours. Might be expensive if you intend to do say a whole bowl though

I apply spirit stain in various ways depending on what I want for a more solid colour I tend to apply with a brush, I have also dabbed it on with a paper towel and lastly for a more controlled application I use an airbrush.
It will need some experiment to get the finish that you are after

Anyone tried using fabric dyes? I’m going to test one anyway but I ask because the water based wood stain samples I've seen online don’t look that strong.

I tried some years ago it was Dylon brown on a piece of very pale Walnut. It darkened it down nicely and left the grain showing. However, I haven't used it since now using spirit stains.

I use fabric dyes. There is a range called Dirty Down and they have different aging sprays for the make up business.
