Answer:

Beautiful stuff once it's all laid out but it's a very hard wood to work. The material itself is quite dense so you will need a carbide blade for sure to cut it and metal-cutting on a saber-saw. Even nailing it down was a bit of an ordeal, the stuff is so hard that it would bend about every third nail out of the floor-nailer. My client bought a mixed lot of light to dark woods and I found the lighter ones to be a bit softer thus easier to cut/nail. Like I said it was beautiful once I got it down but ..........
looks real good so far most difficult decision was where to start I started in the doorway did two rooms
