How to stain Vic Ash to match spotted gum?

[bream]

Hi,
I've just installed a new set of stairs made of Vic Ash. Can anyone advise how to stain Vic Ash to match colours similar to spotted gum floors? A few woodworkers have advised against staining as spotted gum colours are difficult to replicate. Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Bream, just let it age naturally. If you try staining it you will get wear patches on the treads that will look far worse in later years.
