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.

An even more obvious solution is to go online with the customer
present and look at samples of maple that have been stained. Let the
customer pick their choice and proceed accordingly.
