Jerry, I have used it too for curly maple stocks. When I used it, I first used a dilute nitric acid solution and then after the stock was heated slightly with a torch and dried, followed with the potassium permanganate. I have since gone to an commercial stock stain that is applied in one coat and gives much the same effect.
