My oak is the left-overs from 8 years ago when we rebuilt our house as a green & eco-friendly one.
We had about 150 sq metres of solid oak flooring laid, plus the same again of limestone (and 38 tonnes of sandstone outside!) - as usual, we slightly over-ordered as you assume maybe 5% of wastage, be we actually got very little, even with there being 3 roundel rooms. Main reason for so little wastage was that the planks were of three widths and had T&G on all 4 edges, so you could abut them between joists, not just on a joist - worth remembering !
So my oak is all from that - it has T&G plus some stability ridges on the back, but machines down to solid 20mm x 150 to 200mm planks - it's "character" oak, so has the occasional knot, but I have loads of it.
Don't have much else except a load of cedar that gets used for the bee equipment...
