I put in 3/4" oak strip a few years ago, lots of work but well worth it. Rent the big floor sander. I used an oil based finish (Pratt & Lambert Varmor, expensive but a properly done floor will probably out live you). I did three coats. The first coat I used a lambs wool applicator but little fuzzies would end up in the finish. The second two I used a high quality brush and did it by hand. I was murder on my back and knees but it came out the way I wanted it, 430 sq ft and a stair case. When you sand, hang plastic to mask the other rooms, dust will get everywhere!
