Okay, I'm a noob, but one of the great things about this board is someone will correct me if I'm out to lunch.
How about filling the grain (assuming ash; no fill required for alder), shoot with clear lacquer to seal it, apply your pinstripe mask, then shoot red-tinted lacquer toner with a preval doohickey, then do your black burst edge, and finally remove your masking tape and shoot more clear?
All possible with stuff you can pick up at Woodcraft or online.
