I'm surprised no one has replied here yet, so I will try.
I would suggest spraying the fluted areas with Extra Dark Walnut toner. Once you have the grooves nice and dark (and the surrounding wood will be just as dark), then carefully give the flat surfaces (not within the grooves, just the outer surfaces) a sanding with very fine grade sandpaper, just enough to remove the toner from the areas where you do not want toner. This should just leave toner in the grooves, which is what you want.
Which...is just what you said in the last paragraph of your post.
Steve, Russ, Kirk...feel free to chime in
