I bought some chronium trioxide, I think that's what it's called, from R.W.Wilson a few years back. He calls it Majestic Maple I think. It works pretty good.

I got a jar of Chromic Acid granules (purplish 1/8 rounded nodules) from a metal plating shop. A medium strength solution gave a really good DEEP brown stain, it needed several applications before finally neutralising with baking soda. I had tried the potassium permanganate and this acid gave a significantly better result, much deeper and a good deal darker without the same grain clogging.

Don’t know what it is used for in the plating shop, they also do etching, and anodising in there.
 
Some chrome compounds, especially chromium(VI), such as in chromium trioxide and chromic acid, are toxic, cancerogenic (lung cancer), and produce healing difficulties when they get into (even small) wounds. Take care. Reference: www.toxnet.nlm.nih.gov (search for chromium in the HSDB)
