I've never had occasion to use dye so don't know how strong a color one

I have need to get some work to a semi-gloss jet black. I had planned
to use black paint topped with poly - and if I can find some black,
alkyd enameI probably will - but I hate the idea of having to use
acrylic...I don't have spray equipment so will need something I can
sand to get a nice surface.
Would black dye get me a jet black? I don't mind wood texture showing
but not grain pattern. How about dye topped with poly that has some
black tint in it? Would light wood (eg, poplar) work better or a dark
one (eg, walnut or mahogany)? Maybe Peruvian walnut?
All opinions welcome but experience gets extra points
Why not have a local Sherman Williams mix you an Alkid oil based semigloss
jet black paint and skip the varnish?
That would work, I MUST get out of the HD/Lowes mindset
