Peer comment(s):

disagree Tomas750 : According to Web, it seems to be a sort of oak, like "live oak" = "dub virginský". Thus, the surface is made from this wood.

According to the web's, can be anything. If "dub vigrinsky"/panensky na parkety, it means bez lakoveho nateru. No varnish/fermez. Raw parquetry(parkety,podlahovina) wood. If it is about laminating. I would say , yes.
disagree Hynek Palatin : This is definitely a sort of oak. There is 46 of them in my dictionary, but unfortunately not this one. "Master" cannot be translated separately.

Yes Google has many hits. Most relating to the flooring and building. Try Genus Quercus, fam.Fagaceae.
disagree Jirina Nevosadova : According to Google, it must be a sort of oak. Unfortunatly I do not know which one.

Must be sort of oak, but do not know which one? Try family Fagaceae , Genus Qercus. Unfortunately, as biologist. I've never heard Master Oak as kind. It has to do with laminating, as asker is indicating.

"mistr dub" or "letitý dub" or "vévodicí dub", etc.

The word "Master" in "Master Oak" is not part of the biological species name, but a part of the marketing name while that part is rather a cultural or social marker.
