Welcome Tommy. Green and blue stains often tend to be a bit patchy. If you really want green it may be better to go with solid colour.

It's not that I really want green, so much as I think a good green stain could look really nice. If I were to go solid, it'd be something else: order of preference would be trans green -> trans blue or purple -> trans red or amber -> solid colour, probably red - unless the grain mismatch (which isn't as bad as I first thought) would be exaggerated under a stain.
Well, it's partly that I think a stain could look really nice, and partly that I don't have a space for spraying, so I want something I can apply by hand, indoors, and that leads me to stains -> rubbed oil finishes.
