How to patch oak flooring?

The short story is the old kitchen island is being replaced and moved to new position as shown by the chalk lines in photo. As the existing solid oak floor boards were put down after the old island was first installed this leaves its old footprint which will have to be patched in to match the footprint of the new island.
I would appreciate any ideas on how best to do this.

Help! Caring for Oiled Oak flooring
Comments (8)Hi Oak and Broad! That's just it, it didn't say what brand only that it was brushed natural oiled finish. The Pamphlet states special cleaning with intensive wood cleaner and to use Maintenance Oil (natural or white) the white apparently gives a limed appearance. The Manufacture of the wood is Natures Own European Oak. It doesn't look as though it is brushed either, it looks dipped in possibly a wax oil the finish as it is oiled back and front and there are certain parts in the wood that does not look to be oiled especially in some knots. Which is why I don't really want to leave it especially a whole year before re-oiling. I have enclosed a couple of pics but I really don't know what information you will be able to see apart from its a dull finish Thank you for any guidance you can give. As you can see it's still a work in progress and the skirtings and kick-boards need to go on to cover the expansion gaps surrounding the walls and appliance cubbys...See MoreOak flooring, prices?

Comments (5)Most oak floors tend to be engineered these days as all things considered it's the better way to go. Pricing for quality engineered oak and solid oak are pretty much the same. Aesthetically you get exactly the same look but without any of the potential pit falls of solid oak I.e seasonal shrinkage and increased install costs. Did you have a particular look / tone in mind? with some further detail I could organise you some samples of our hand finished floors....See MoreHow to design home with this white oak laminat
Comments (3)Hi Irma, I just bought something very similar for my husband's studio. Light grey flooring will look great with white, black and all tones of grey. It depends if you would like to keep the whole house looking light or dark. This one does have some red and yellow in it, but that just opens a wider palette of colors to use it with. In the studio we have a couple of dark walls (dark grey carpet actually) and they look beautiful as a contrast to the light floor. We did a light grey for the ceiling and other walls and it looks really warm in comparison to the white floor. It really depends on the look you want to achieve, but if you want to stay within a relatively monochrome pallet that will be quite easy to play with. Good luck....See MoreWarped oak floor
Comments (7)We have engineered wood covering most of our floor. It‘s not glued to the subfloor. Our lower ground floor is concrete and screed whereas our first floor sub floor is timber. However on both floors the installers used special plastic(?) sheeting to cover the subfloors first (like underlay) before laying the engineered planks to avoid damp affecting the flooring. May be worth checking with the manufacturer what their advice is....See Moreturquoisetree53
