I find the best way to do it is this......
Use oil based wood dye (not stain)
Add a bit of clear varnish to it....it will go ten times further......
When its dry lightly sand it in the direction if the grain
Then give it two coats of eggshell varnish....thin the first one slightly and sand between coats with fine wet an dry paper or 240 grade finishing paper.
