Looks alright natural but if you want to stain you would need to either cut through the Danish oil or get something that will stick on top.

 

A nice natural way to darken wood is soak wire wool in vinegar overnight then rub it into the wood. It reacts with the tannin in the wood and darkens the wood itself rather then a coat on the surface, leaving no brush marks etc. Can oil/wax etc on top.

 

If you rub it in with the wire wool it will cut through the Danish oil.

 

Only caution- i have taken oak nearly black with a couple of coats, don't know about hazle, may darken at a different rate so would experiment on some scraps.
