How do I match a 90 year old finish that has crazed?

I would like to do an on site repair of these southern
pine windows.  A squirrel got into the 90 year old
house and killed himself trying to eat his way out of the
windows. Ref 3 pictures. He did considerable damage
mostly to the 2  lower windows (32 X 38") and some
damage to the upper (32 X 36) mainly on the mullions. 

My question  is how do I match the texture of the
existing finish that has a finely crazed texture that will be
adjoining my repair?   Is it beyond expectations to think
that this texture can be matched?  Should I repair the
crazed finish? How do I approach that?  These windows
are big,  I rather not do that if there are other options
