My house has yellow pine floors throughout. I recently moved an interior door between 2 adjoining rooms (closed in 1 and opened a new 1). Now a portion of the bottom plate needs to be cut out and the floors between the room need to be joined. The wood runs perpendicular to the door opening. What’s the best way to do this? rip up a big section of the flooring and re-install? Some kind of threshold?

A threshold would be way easier than toothing in new or salvaged wood in that doorway, unless of course you're refinishing the whole shebang. If refinishing you might be able to make it look like it was always there. Using the same vintage wood salvaged from perhaps a closet. If the runs in both rooms are true to each other.
