Absolutely love wide plank, hand-scraped flooring. It looks phenomenal IMO.
Only regular production flooring we made was Hard Maple, Shagbark Hickory, Yellow Birch, White Ash, and Red Oak. Everything else was per customer request because it was either 1) not a really good idea or 2) expensive to get the wood. When I left doing this, Braz Cherry was somewhere around $3/bf delivered for #1 Com. Hard Maple was around $1.65. Big difference when you have a 67% yield, and so forth.
