: The result is a much darker fill, compared with WRC. If that
: 's the case with pine, it would show up much more because the pine strips
: are so pale.

I used pine and cypress on my Guillemot. To match the color I used a combination of bleached flour and wood dust (from sanding). It worked out well. You just have to experiment a bit.
