I visited an old home in Ohio where the walls were paneled in black walnut. The place had like 20' high ceilings. When the wood was cut the instructions were to only take trees that did not have any branches for a minimum of 40'. Just unbelievably nice. Cost now, impossible to reproduce.
In CA there are many very nice old houses as well. Hearst Castle is not one of them, its just gaudy and has old stuff. Redwood has been used to produce spectacular results in a number of old homes.
