Subject: How to "weather" new cuts in "barnboard"?

Well it's not really "barnboard"; and I don't want to wait for nature to
weather it.

I have made some repairs to a very old (1800s) child's wooden horse. I used
old pine boards to make new hind legs and would like to make the new work
match the old. The original is unfinished "weathered" (gray) pine.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have made a few "rustic" projects with old barn lumber.  I blended in
the new cuts by spraying on a gray semi-transparent oil based stain using
a small touch-up style spray gun.  It worked well for me.
