I've restored and re-fitted some old oak skirting and need to fill some
small gaps along the top. I could use regular caulk and paint the wall
colour over it but would prefer to use a caulk or filler and stain it to
match the Regency oak colour of the skirting. The oak is stable so, in
the absence of a stainable caulk, I'm tempted to use one of the dark
brown Ronseal wood fillers (supposedly stainable) but would prefer
something flexible. Any suggestions?

(Osmo have a caulk that is laughingly called oak colour - they must have
some strange oak trees wherever Osmo is made!)

Buy a cheap acrylic 'painting set' from eBay or wherever and mix colours
with your 'regular caulk' to make whatever colour you want.
Experimentation required, but it will work, I've done it.

eBay item # 274421856096 is the first hit, there are many more.
