Thread: Matching new oak to old oak in repair.

Here's the problem. I have been doing a repair to an old (50 yrs.), much repaired (badly),clerck's desk that's been in the family. Not particularly valuable, but means a little to some of us. Have had to replace a panel on the top with a 12 in. by 24 in. piece of new red oak and made new legs and skirting. All have been replaced before at least a couple of times. Would like very much to retain the look of the old oak and not have a two toned look. It has always been finished without staining and I would like to return it to as natural a look as possible. I was thinking of a pecan stain with a little walnut stain mixed in for just the new pieces, but am a novice so would appreciate any ideas. Thanks ahead of time.
