Default Stock finish

I have always admired the beautiful stocks and forearms on the higher grade guns such as the Parker.
Did Parker and others, use stain before the topcoat ?
I have never been able to duplicate the "reddish" color that many of the fancy
walnut stocks have. I noticed that many of the older antique firearms posess this red coloration.
How do they transform what starts as basically a brown walnut stock ?
