I plan to finish my stairs this summer (remove carpet and add treads &

floor). I'm far from an expert at identifying wood species but think
my hardwood floors are red oak. I do know when I had the floors redone
years ago they use a honey maple stain. The home was built in 1949,
what type of wood do you think they would have used?

Here is a picture I took of an item on the floor which may help
identify. Disregard the item.

Thank you

Oak is very common here and some look like red oak, but a couple of
boards I'm not so sure.* Maybe take a better photo or two?

With the green tinge I'm thinking grey ash. Mine has a stain on it
that warms it up a bit - but more ash-like than oak-like - and the two
ARE close.
