A bit annoying i couldnt find a better match for the extension.

I had some American walnut which was too brown, some walnut from NZwalnut which was too light, In the end i went with the european walnut pictured above in the hope that i would redden up with some alkanet, which it did to some extent. I do do a bit of painting and i have wondered about trying my hand at stock blending on this, so if anyone has any tips for it let me know.
