He lets the stock go black, like you mention. then scrubs it back using hot water. when he's done it looks like old gray barn wood <without the weathering > when he hits it with his oil finish, it POP's and comes alive!!
While you are scrubbing the finish off with steel wool and vinegar, you can see how the wood will look when a finish is put on it. That's how you know to stop scrubbing, when you've achieved the color you want.
