Finsihed my first tile project, entry way, looks great. However,
where the tile meets the living room laminate floor, I need an oak
reducer. At the Tile Shop, where I bought my tile, they had the
perfect oak reduced in two sizes in 8' lengths that I planned to use.
When I went there to get some, they said they had been out for some
time and no idea when more would be coming in. Cant seem to find
anything like it locally and not good enough with woodwroking to make
my own. Looks basically like this image:

Sort of depends on how many flooring stores there are in your area. I had a
similar problem when I installed laminate, and had to have a laminate-to-carpet
reducer (the flooring store I bought the laminate from originally only had
laminate-to-tile reducers, and claimed that it was the only reducer made for
that laminate). Spent an hour or so calling around to the various flooring
stores in the area, and finally found a hole-in-the-wall discount flooring place
that had a laminate reducer that matched the color and grain of my flooring
(different brand of laminate, but who cares..).

Otherwise, there's always the internet (iFloor and such), but something like
that is usually better examined with the ol' Mark I Eyeball.
