Need some input on how to best match a 40 yr old original console. I've got er stripped and did some filling and dowel work and have it at a good place right now. I haven't gotten into staining the filler yet (I have some large areas) and would like to see how you all may have done it to get a good match.

I also sadly realized I'll be springing for a new console at some point when funds free up, this console will not give me the final product I'm looking for. It's just too beat up, but I feel like it will look fantastic from outside the boat so that will buy me a couple years.

Any assistance would be much appreciated.
