Extra dark is too dark. It will come out almost black with proper coating. You can get dark walnut or just use medium walnut and give it a few extra coats. it will darken with more coats.

I have A model 15 halson I coated the top in extra dark (not fully coated yet)and a philco 37 I used perfect brown and a GE with dark walnut so see the colors.
