I'm restoring an old (1850's) oak window frame, and the original panes of glass were puttied in (no sprigs). While the inside rebate is large enough that no putty need show, I'm concerned that a modern putty will stand out a bit on the outside
Can anyone suggest a method of staining putty to match the colour of the oak frame (which has a tung oil finish). The match doesn't have to be perfect, but what sort of thing might be good to start with?
TIA
