We need to have Oak flooring installed in the Master Bedroom to match closely what apppears to have been installed in the late 80's.

While moving a piece of furniture, a sharp piece gouged across a few (5-6) of the hardwood floor boards. These need repaired or replaced, but need to match invisibly. Perhaps swap with boards from inside a closet? Boards are honey oak(?) each about 2.5" wide
