What about using the piece with a close color match and doing a light
over coating of a gel stain or glaze that feathers out onto the
adjoing pieces. This might work or maybe just create a bigger

Might not create a bigger problem. If you blend the color match out over a
couple of feet, it will become invisible to the naked eye. That might just
be a very practical solution. The trick is to not focus on the immediate
area as you look at it, but to look for the blend and work that. Painters
of all sorts, blend all of the time. The eye is easy to fool.

The scrap I have is already finished, so it's the join line I'm most
concerned about. OTOH, this particular piece is in a reasonably
unobtrusive spot...

Thanks, Mike.
