There is an are of about 8 square feet the needs to be refinished in a

Throw rug.

It's going to be hard exactly the match the surrounding floor
without refinishing it all. The sanding will likely lighten
the color considerably, particularly for woods like cherry.

The floor is oak, and the area is is a small room off of the foyer. May
main concern is to prevent additional damage to the hardwood itself. I
am hoping that the small area, it location and surrounding item will
disguise and slight difference.

In that location I think the rug would create more problems than it
would solve.

What are the alternatives ? I can't think of a single one.
Perhaps I'm missing something ..

It depends what kind of ramage. sometimes just spot sanding or
scraping with a cabinet scraper then touching up with a colored
varathane finish or "toner" can give an acceptable match and will
protect from further damage.

On this topic, is it possible to mix stains the way a painter mixes colors to get a specific color?

Thanks.

Trail and error to match yes it is.
