I think the issue with trying to stain beech in particular is that the stain can be patchy. There might be quite an even take except for one area that seems to resist taking any stain at all. The colour is often put on top in the lacquer as it sits on rather than soaks in.. ....Beech is a funny wood in some ways. And great in others.
