I have a box made of pine that I would like to make look like my new
furniture which is American Light Oak, can any one suggest a suitable dye or
stain.

It can be done, but not with a stain. It is done with a technique referred
to as "graining," It requires special tools and some practice. Generally,
it takes three coats: a ground coat, a toner, and a finish coat. The
"grain" is produced by dragging special combs through the toner while it is
drying.
