I am trying to match an old growth mahogany table top with a more affordable trestle base and I wondered if anyone had any suggestions about what wood might work well or stain well to match. Suggestions about materials and finishes/ methods would be very welcome.

Why not use a more ordinary Honduran Mahogany, not the cheapest wood to be sure, but likely to give the most satisfactory match.
do you mean santos?
No, Swietenia Macrophylla is the typical wood marketed as Honduran mahogany.
