Steve, What you did is an old time furniture refinishing trick that is worth remembering. I assume that you let the old, dark, gunky shellac soak into the new wood and then removed it with the Formby's prior to staining? Dave

I finally found some quarter sawn oak. I stripped the case using Formby's Furniture Restorer as it "removes shellac without stripping". I then soaked the new piece in the old shellac I removed and it colored the new wood so it now matches and you cannot tell it is a new piece.
