To effectively stain wood darker, start by sanding the wood to remove any existing finish. Apply a wood conditioner to help the stain absorb evenly. Then, apply the darker stain in thin, even coats, allowing each coat to dry before applying the next. Test the stain on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it achieves the desired shade. Finish with a clear topcoat to protect the stained wood.
