PROS: Extremely hard probably the toughest wood floor you can get. It has a lovely light tan to brown coloration and a bold grain pattern. For commercial high use areas you can have the toughness of maple with the
Bold graining of oak and the warm pecan-like tones, just by applying a simple clear coating.

CONS: Hard to find in stock, it must be special ordered, or milled up on a custom basis. Very difficult to sand and care must be taken to eliminate all coarse sanding marks. Moderately expensive.
