I plan to finish my stairs this summer (remove carpet and add treads &
risers) and want to match my hardwood floor at bottom of stairs (main
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.

Not red oak. Not ANY oak.

Definitely hardwood, looks familiar, but dunno what. It doesn't look like
maple to me either. A couple of pieces do look like white oak, some look
like cherry.

On second thought, I'd say hickory

Nope, hickory doesn't look like that. It's red oak.
