Yes. You could purchase a single bundle of 2-1/4" White Oak which has about 20 square feet, to make samples on.

We had new red oak stairs and bannister installed and our carpenter matched the stair stain to our Italian porcelain wood look tile flooring. He used some extra red wood boards to test some stain shades and he finally got a great color match. We are very pleased with the result❣️

@Timothy Winzell has given you the perfect advice.

Thanks, everyone. Some places will only sell five bundles or more, or send a board or two to touch.

Awsome advice, thank-you.

It depends how much of a perfectionist you are. For most of us white oak is pretty much white oak (unlike species like cherry that can vary hugely from lot to lot, or tree to tree, but there may be differences in color, grain, and how it accepts stain based on where it was grown and perhaps how it was processed. So the safest course is to make samples from the actual flooring you are installing.

Most importantly, to get an accurate sample, follow your finishing process _exactly_ on your samples-- sand through exactly the same grits, and apply each coat exactly as you would on the entire floor, completing the entire finishing schedule, preferably with all the same timing as you would on the whole floor. Anything else leads to unpleasant surprises. Even then I can't tell you how often the finished project hasn't matched the samples.

If you can go with the natural color and avoid stains and dyes your headaches will be reduced about 100-fold. I generally try to choose the wood species that gives me the color I want rather than trying to force the wood to be some color it's not.

Great suggestions, thank you.
