darkening wood

I bought some mahogany for trim, and was told that a soultion of lye will cause it to darken. Has anybody done this, and was it compatible with epoxy? Alternatively, I could install the trim, and then sand it back to bare wood. Then, would stain or lye affect the cured epoxy around it?
