That works for me. At least you're not a total civilian. If the floor is the sand and finish type and you can get the same species that would probably be your easiest bet. Now, I don't do sand and finish so I have really no idea whatr this would cost compared to any other option.
Now, a border of a different species could look really nice but you'll need to take into consideration the total size of the room. Would a 3' border be too big for the area? If so, perhaps an inset border would be more pleasing to the eye.
Either way you will probably want to refinish the origonal floor to bring out the origonal beauty.
These are just food for thought. I'm not quite as knowledgeable about wood solutions as some others. Do you know how your existing oak is secured to the floor? Stapled, nailed? Is the entire floor secure?

P.S. Welcome to the board. We have a good community here. Stick around after your project. We could always use more heads to share with and learn from.
