Thanks Jay for the solution (apologies for the pun).

Always go from light to dark. You can't go the other way...
Happy to talk you through it but start of with a test piece, preferably same kind of wood. I suppose the latter will be impossible but use a test piece with similar colouring.

Lick, not eat. Mind you, i used Briwax oil on top of the colouring for finish. Not safe to lick nor eat
