Default Aging Wood (intentionally)

I was on the set of "Heaven's Gate" several years ago and was in ahh
over how they'd taken all of this new wood construction of an old west
town and aged it to perfection where the carpentry all appeared to be
many years old.

Flashing forward to the present - So when replacing fence boards, is
anyone familiar with any staining or painting secrets to help 'age'
those new boards and make them appear similar to the rest of the
fence?

I've had other applications over the years where I've wondered about
that but have the recent issue at hand of wanting those new boards to
appear somewhat like the rest of the fence. TIA
