Does anybody recognise this wood? About 8mm thick tongue and groove from UK house

The house is Victorian but it’s likely the flooring was recent (say in the last 20-30 years).

Oak

Have seen similar before which was french oak.

Hard to tell though as no idea about the treatments etc applied over the years.

Looks like oak to me too.

Grain def looks like oak. Looks solid, not manufactured, but thin, (normally 3/4 "), so probably sandable once.

I can scratch it with my fingernail which made me think it wasn’t oak.

It's oak. You can scratch almost any wood a bit, if you do it right.

I also just discovered the reverse side has a very faint inscription: Bruce. Which is actually a floor manufacturer.

Could that be Ash?

Looks like walnut to me, maybe American black walnut?
