Your cabinet is white oak and have patched it with red oak. Todays veneer is thinner than the old veneer so you need to double the thickness with two layers of veneer to bring it up to the correct height and then sand it flush with the surrounding veneer. Your finish on the original cabinet is button shellac that is dark amber in color. Use a light oak stain only on the replaced veneer. If you had white oak and then coated it with the amber shellac the match would be better. It is a trial and mix thing to match the color. Remember to double up on the veneer to bring it up to match. Sometimes you even have to use triple layers then careful sanding flush to the original. Tape around the patch so you won't sand to much of the original. As for as color trial and error until you get the match you want. hope this helps you in the project.
