I'm getting ready to embark on a major project down in the basement. I'm
going to create an "English Pub". I want to create the "English Pub Oak"
look on the walls using raised panels and the bar area. Does anyone have
a
recipe for finishing red or white oak to simulate this old look?

If we're talking the dark oak I've seen in English Pubs, then General
Finishes "Java" gel stain, with repeated applications, would likely get you
very close for an off the shelf product.

Try it on some scrap.
