Unusual finish

This is totally a newbie question, as I have little experience with woodstaining. Im looking to create an effect whereby the darker grain is darkened to black and the lighter grain is lightened to white if possible. I then plan to finish the wood to a high gloss. Ive spent hours trawling the web with no real success.

I have seen this effect done before on guitars with black and red but never black and white, and Im looking for any advice that may help me achive this.

Im planning to use this effect on a homebuilt pine cabinate for my amp, unusual sounding i know but thats the idea.

Many thanks:2tsup:
