You can stain balsa wood.
Wood stain is abosorbed into the wood, so the wood takes on the color of the stain. This is why the features of the wood are still visible, unlike with paint.
It could look blotchy depending on the type of wood and if it's a colored stain.
I agree with Charles. I would also sand the piece of wood with the stain a bit then apply the darker stain.
Wood varies in density.
