1937 interior woodgraining

Hello, again to all. I am to the point on my '37 120C where I need to touch up the paint and then polish everything out. While I'm waiting for good weather to do so, I am looking at the woodgraining on the dash and window frames. I have a woodgraining technique that I learned a couple of years ago, but the final product, to me, seems a bit too dark. All of the applique type of woodgraining materials on the internet that i've found contains a bit too much red, so, I was wondering if any of you might know of an alternative woodgraining product or technique that might not give me such a dark texture. What I have now is a light brown base coat and then use a dark brown rubber based printer's ink for the actual graining. Do you think that a lighter base coat might produce lighter results? My paint is Packard Cream, so the darker graining would look pretty good with that, but I am open to all suggestions. Thanks in advance for any help.
