Matching antique pine - timber and finish

[Deadeye]

The lad and his girlfriend have bought their first house - a full on fixer upper.
In amongst the blown plaster and damp there are some nice bits of panelling, which I think is pine, although very clear of knots.

They'd like a dresser in matching wood. Will clear pine do it or is there a better timber (it won't be painted)?
And of the various "antique pine" stains and finishes, which ones look ok and less like something Trump spilled his fake tan over?

I think it is best to identify the panelling first. Can you get some photos. If it is pine and knot free it is most likely to be Pitch Pine which would look great cleaned up and waxed.

Thanks - I'll try to get some photos. Is pitch pine still available or what's the closest alternative?
