What is Acacia nuts?
I am in the process of buying wooden floor. I notice a large number of suppliers use different, often conflicting names for the same species of wood. A couple of retailers are selling something they call "Acacia walnut" or "Asian nut. "The origin of the wood seems to be the South-Eastern Asia.

Your question is the answer. When the timber is distributed to retailers, it is designated by species and geographic origin (eg, Honduras mahogany, cedar or Western). Walnut is usually very expensive and also not very consistent color or grain patterns. Therefore, it would produce a dramatic floor. You must decide if you want the floor to be a design feature, or if you want it to be uniform (typical) so your accessories and other decorative elements will attract the attention of your visitors.
