[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We refinished them and did a clear, water based finish (no color whatsoever) and they are gorgeous now! Fairly light. [/quote]

Not OP, but wondering whether anyone has photos of this kind of clear finish on red oak? We have the same floors and want to make them look nicer without going trendy. I was thinking darker but maybe that's not necessary.[/quote]

Our neighbor did it and it is light, not pink at all.  Oil based stains will make it orangey.

This is what it will look like:

OP here, that looks really nice! Thanks for sharing![/quote]
Are you sure those aren't white oak floors?  The prior (idiot) owners of our house put on an addition with red oak floors, even though the rest of the house is white oak.  The red oak floors were definitely pink without stain.  We used Provincial stain in a medium brown to blend the two types of oak.  It looks good and doesn't look red/pink at all.[/quote]
