I'm sure there are some number of resources for that, and since I have never done it myself allow me to advise you-
After cutting the shape you want apply some stain to the whole thing, darker than you really want. Then sand the whole thing a little. This will remove a lot of the darker color, leaving only what is in the deeper pits of the wood. Then apply a lighter stain. That's what I would try anyway.
