Varnishing Pine

Having bought expensive oak doors we have made the mistake of using pine skirting and now having a problem matching the colour of varnish. Tried loads of different makes and shades but cant get anything need the colour of doors. Has anyone had a similar problem shed any light on what varnish to buy.
Thanks

Why don't you paint the skirting in the same colour as the walls, or a neutral tone if that's not appropriate? Don't ruin beautiful doors when you probably won't ever get the perfect match as the base grain and colour is just not the same.

How many coats of varnish have you tried? It gets deeper with each coat. Rub down lightly and clean with white spirit or sugar soap before adding another coat.0
