Can I bleach red oak so that it stains close to white oak?

I can not seem to find white oak posts and rails that I can stain to
match the white oak floor.
So, thinking outside the box... instead of matching, maybe you should
accentuate the contrast? How about ebonizing the red oak?
Matching: hard. Contrast: easy.
How about trying ash? The grain matches oak fairly well and is closer
to white oak than red from what I remember. My floor and my kitchen
cabinets are both "grey ash". Floor was stained, cabinets not.
