I'm not over keen on their oil finish, much prefer Wipe on Poly...just my preference.....

test on scrap or under a plate if you can
I have not used crimson but regularly use black chestnut spirit stain
fiebings leather dye is the most consistent and solid black, but check compatibility with your finish

It wasn't specifically about Crimson stains and oil, but there is a lot of discussion about these products. The OP did ultimately use Crimson black stain - unfortunately the pictures no longer work, but it if memory serves me correctly the results were good.

there are plenty of how too's on YT but i'll be trying out this guys method
I have a solution brewing up atm for use on some rosewood fretboard's i want to darken up and as RW has a pretty high tannin level they should react well (even with out a tea wash)
ive tried leather dye in the past on fretboards but found it never seem to get deep enough into the wood and starts to come off after a few moths of play (not an issue if your sealing your body i guess) i had good results with the yellow crimson stain over ash/idigbo and the colour really pops out once you hit in with a gloss finish.
I'm essentially looking for something that will work before christmas on a build yet to start, and not require the learning curve that rattle-can lacquer requires.
Cheers,
Adam

Used the whole bottle and was going for a more solid finish, although I quite like the result I got.
