I'm going to stain some trim work, but it's a mix of red oak & pine.I
don't
want to make it too dark, a light pecan color would be good I've tried a
few test but as you can imagine the red oak looks great but the cathedrals
in the grain become very pronounced , while the pine looks very plain next
to it. Any ideas on what I could use to blend them together?

IME, and without any restoration experience under your belt, you basically
you have three choices: paint, use a _dark_ stain (gel preferably), or use
the same kind of wood throughout.
