On a Carved top body, you are in a position where due to the carve, there is always some endgrain exposed.
I dont remember if it was covered in the video, but one trick is to pre wet the endgrain with water so that not so much of the dye soaks in.

That's a great point, Roman. I hadn't thought of that. He did mention at the beginning, before he did the double staining, to wet down the whole thing so that it didn't absorb too much stain. But I don't recall him giving that tip specifically for end grain. Thanks!
