Dye stains are the answer. Maple is so dense you don't get the color effect you describe with other woods. Apply dye stains with a spray bottle using water, not alcohol as a dilute. More forgiving with longer open time. Linseed oil is better than Tung for this method. The link is about cherry but applies to Maple as well.
