I will try it out on a scratch of wood before doing anything major.

Sanded London Plane
northern Guitars Merlot wood stain, 1 application. Bottom half sanded back after staining.
Sanded London Plane and 2 appliations of Monty's Espresso Wax plus buffing.
Merlot wood stain, 1 application. Bottom half sanded. Monty's Espresso Wax, 2 appliations.
Conclusion is the Monty's Espresso wax darkens it as it says on the tin but makes it brown. I definitely prefer the merlot stain not sanded back under the Monty's Espresso wax. Now it's a case of getting the right amount of staining coats/ Monty's wax combination to taste.
The wood join isn't very obvious either which is good.

If you have a piece of scrap, I would try it on a lacey area too.. Sorta like what happens when you stain and finish flamed maple. In the way the lighter areas take the stain differently. So does the lace. Worth a try anyway.

Yes I believe I do have some lacewood so will give it a go with the staining.

I'm having second thoughts about applying Monty's Espresso wax after the stain as I'm really liking the merlot colour. Let's see how it dries today.
