black stain. mix it light and push it into the grain. Use a water based one. Once you finish, let it dry a little bit (about 4 hrs), get a damp rag and go over the entire top to see if it is dark enough for you, if it is, let it dry over night and start clearing. If it is too light add a bit more stain and repeat, if it is too dark since it is water based, just get the same damp rag and get it a bit wetter, and push it hard against the maple to pick up the extra stain. Just think you are using water colors (Myka's words) and are thinning the paint.

This should work.
