Replace and match antique pine flooring

[Bondai]

Hello

Can anybody advise if it is possible to match new pine boards to antique pine boards using any kind of oil or stain ? preferably an oil.

So what happened...
Basically we had a wood worm infest and we treated the surrounding floor and joists and replaced these shown in the pictures attached and then oiled the new boards.

In hind site I would have liked to have gone and got some reclaimed pine. Anyhow the floor is down and prising it back up is not something I would want to do if I can help it. Can the colour be matched ? any advice would be much appreciated. I am not too bothered about the patina.

Done so far...
The pine boards have been treated with wood worm killer, dried and then oiled with an Osmo Poliyx Oil - matt - (High Solid Satin Matt Clear) and dries to a honey colour. It turned the original antique pine boards rather orange and the new pine a clear honey colour. I'm thinking a few coats will darken it up but I dont think its going to blend in very well.

So any advice would be great.
Thanks

As you've already oiled it, I'd suggest your best option is an Osmo tinted oil, applied to the new boards only.

You could try the "honey" on any scraps you have left over - treat the scraps as you have already treated the laid boards, then try the tinted oil. You may or may not need to sand it.

For future reference, the traditional way to do this is to stain the new pine with weak walnut crystal solution (aka Van Dyck cyrstals). This darkens the wood so it closely matches old pine. No use now you've oiled, though.

Tea bags do a good job of staining white new wood prior to oils and / or cover varnish.

Thanks guys. I heard about the tea for colouring more red and coffee for more brown. A guy in the shop where I bought the oil from mentioned it and then I thought a worthy discussion would be the blend of coffee and tea as not all tea and coffee is the same so you would be in the same boat trying to dose floor boards in various teas and coffees for the right hue ?. Anyways I may need to replace more boards (found more 'new' wood worm in other boards) so when I replace them ill try the Walnut Crystal solution. Now I need to get advice about this damned wood worm. Probably have to call in an expert to get advice as its headed for my oak stair case.
