A friend bought about 1500 sq. feet of salvaged 2 inch T&G maple flooring that came from a long ago demolished roller skating rink. He had it planed to clean it up and used it in his home. Beautiful wood but he had to pre-drill for every nail.I remember when I was a kid, Dad decided to build a 60'x40' barn. We found some nice maple trees in the woods. We then cut and hauled them to a local sawmill for the lumber. The lumber was full 2x4's for the studs. I remember when we put up the studs and siding that you could not put a nail into that maple without drilling a hole first. The maple was about as hard as steel.
