I tried the Torch technique on a Uke holder I made with decent results. I didn't use a real dark stain because I was trying to get close to matching the color of my tiki mug shelves. Of course after burning it, the color was a bit darker than the unburned shelves. I also ran into trouble getting an even color on the low relief sections of the Uke holder. They had a tendency not to burn and darken as quick as the raised parts.
All in all, I am happy with it and it gets my Uke of the floor!
