need help choosing stain for different types of wood

We are presently building a barn/bunkhouse. I want to choose a dark stain that matches (or, as closely as possible) all the different types of wood: the interior walls will be poplar wood (staining baseboards); the exterior/interior front doors will be mahogany; the interior barn doors will most likely be pine (builder has yet to respond to confirm wood type).

I've been to Sherwin-Williams and their stain display shows how the stain will look on poplar and pine, but I'm having trouble finding an example for the mahogany (and I have no sample mahogany to take to the store to test).

I understand each type of wood would take to the stain differently, but I guess I need to know if those differences will be dramatically different...should I stain each wood with a different stain or go with one?

Hope that even makes sense.
