help matching floor
My local supplier couldn't get anything closer than Bruce Liberty Plank, which does not contain nearly as many knots. This is a natural color, what appears to be white oak, 3 1/4" hardwood flooring. Can anyone identify it?

Best I've been able to come up with is a Bellawood from LL.com http://www.lumberliquidators.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=1538&categoryId=5§ionId=1&su bCategoryId=52

regarding grades, with the seconds or 'natural' as Lumber Liquidator calls them (correct me if I'm wrong), are all the knots filled and sanded? Is the 'rustic' the same as 'utility'? In my sample there is a significant (considering) number of knots which add to the beauty. I've seen a few samples which are called 'country' that contained additional defects, but not the right one yet.

thanks for the help!

Rustic or Tavern is generally #2. Utility would be used for an area where you don't care too much about holes/defects, etc., like a cabin floor.
Site finishing generally involves a complete fill, including the small holes.

this is a prefinished-has a microbevel.

I asked the HO to pull their original contract from years ago...the description included 'honey rose'. Ever hear of that as a color?
