Maybe try wax relief where you don't want the stain. I have made animal patterns using wax and it turns out well

I have airbrushed darker tones on wook making a frisket, (some adhesive film applied to the wood, bunished on, then the pattern cut and the places you wish the stain to be applied removed) ...more of a hassle, but results might be sharper line detail.

I've done both with mixed results.

Good luck
