We used Tigerwood, although it may be too "busy" for some peoples taste we absolutely love it. It has darkened a bit since we installed it last spring and looks even better now. We wanted a darker wood with no stain, The tigerwood we used is natural with a clear finish. We feel like a clear finish is much easier to conceal minor scratches etc..
We used pre finished 3/4" and installed it ourselves.
Good luck!
