^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ It can be done, but not with a stain. It is done with a technique referred to as "graining," It requires special tools and some practice. Generally, it takes three coats: a ground coat, a toner, and a finish coat. The "grain" is produced by dragging special combs through the toner while it is drying.
