Have you ever done a CA finish on it? It gets much darker. I have done a lot of pens with CA and Wenge. Let me know if you want some pics or not.

He is one I did. I use Stick Fast products. There are tutorials on how to do a CA finish on Youtube but if you have trouble with that let me know. As I feel I have finally perfected my method of a crystal clear CA finish.
EDIT: Let me know if you can see the photo or not. It shows that I attached the link as a photo but I don't see it showing up. Here the hard link. https://photos.app.goo.gl/YWmQOGLHdW5lfjh02

The CA is the abbreviation used in the pen turning world for the super-glue, I'm sure you will have that product in your country. Look for one that is of thin viscosity, ideally, we use 2 viscosities, thin and medium but the thing is more important as it penetrates the wood better the only difference with thin and medium is that you will need to put a few extra coats with the thin, we normally use one to 2 coats of the thin and then 4 and up to 20 coats in some examples, I normally do 6 medium after the 2 thin.
There is also a product that is normally associated with the CA (super glue) and that is the Accelerator, this is a specialised liquid that is sprayed on the CA to make it dry faster.
There are other items necessary to do a CA finish but those you can always get later after you find the super glue and accelerator.
