I use spirit-based stains, they don't raise the grain like waterbase can although a walnut board prob won't do that. After that's had a short while to dry I wipe on a drying oil like linseed or Danish, just very thin coat. Let dry for a couple of days. Sometimes a wipe with lemon oil after that, again quick & thin, if it feels at all waxy. I've never had joy with just wire-woolling & wiping after, always got some on the fingers, the oil completely stops that and also to me makes it look a bit more natural, somehow more part of the wood than sat on top. Might be imagining that, dunno, just looks a bit better to me

you you need to remove any coating that may currently be on the board. Apply the fiebings and let dry for a minute or so. Give a good rub down with 0000 liberon wire wool.
It will stain some plastics, but cleans off most at the rub down stage. It will stain your skin or clothes and never come off.... use with care

@WezV do you use any oil after the leather dye to bring back the grain and give it a nice sheen? or just some fretboard oil?
Cheers
just done 2 rosewood boards with the dark brown and didn’t add any oil at all.
