I've finished milling all the parts for what I thought was a simple

mind about color, and would prefer that I had made everything from
Walnut so it would match her counters. Anyone have any ideas on how
to dye and/or stain hard maple to look like walnut? I'm not remaking
everything, and the client knows this, so we're just going to do the
best we can. Thanks in advance.

Well, the obvious solution is to go down to Home Depot and look in the
paint aisle where you will see cans labelled "walnut stain". If you
have already done that and not been satisfied with the results then you
should say so and why.
