I used Royal London oil with Alkanet on my Teak Ginb #1 for HW100. IME Sono goes very dark when oiled and the grain doesn't show as well as Teak.

Pok. Fantastic stock, thanks for the photo. What's the weight like? I hunt with mine, as well as HFT. Let's have some more Ginb piccies!

The sono is quite a bit heavier.
Personally I would never stain either, just enjoy them for the natural woods they are.
Both of mine were hand oiled rather than lacquered.
