We chose the Brazilian Walnut 3" x 3/8" thick. It is absolutely beautiful! We think it is darker and more rich than the picture LL uses. When we bought this wood, the person helping us kept warning us it's HARD wood. Is he right. My husband bought the Powernail 50P Flex pnematic nail gun. This gun allows you to install 3/8" to 3/4" wood thickness. He also used Powernail power cleats 1 1/4" 18 guage. Haven't had one jam, works well with 3/8" wood and rarely splits the tongue. My husband has NO EXPERIENCE installing hardwood. The hardest part is lining up the first 3 rows and manually nailing the wood. Once you have the first 3 rows worked in, it goes very quickly. My husband and I had a deal. We'd start in the dining room and if we didn't divorce, we continue and do the greatroom, kitchen, and laundry room. Thank goodness, he's started the greatroom.
