Any finish, any look new white oak is your go to flooring
Thinking of putting some color/stain on your flooring? That sounds like a great idea. There is world of stain colors out there and they all look best on one particular flooring, white oak. Not all flooring takes stain the same and you have to be judicious in choosing which stain will work with which wood. For example hickory does not stain well at all. The materials in the case of hickory, heart pine and some other woods dictate what can and cannot be done with them. But there is one exception and that is white oak.
