We used to "ebonize" red oak for some furniture pieces. You put rusty nails in a container of vinegar and let it work for a couple of weeks. Then you wipe it on the oak as many times as you want it dark. The tannin in the oak reacts with the ferrous oxide/acid mix and turns the oak black.

Remember "Furniture on the Mend?" Then "Furniture to Go." Then some bogus non-furniture program. Those 2 guys used to do lot's of interesting finishes like that. I don't think they ever used normal stain. And they did funny sketches too.
