Strip is the typical 3/4 X 2 1/4 solid T&G pieces of wood.
Good. You can always refinish that shit. The pre-finished not so much.

Yep, hand dipped every single one between me and the wife. Took us about 3 weeks of a couple hours a day. Probably my least favorite part of the entire process (I hate drywall too, but we paid for someone else to do that  ) IMHO well worth it though, I love the look.
I wouldn't say it was common up here simply because the upkeep and the initial investment scares people off. But it's not particularly rare either since we have such a mild climate.

All the regular circuits are 12/2 20A. Hate the damn arc-fault breakers. If I slide a dimmer too slowly in the bedrooms it trips the circuit.

really, that sucks. that must be b/c of code rules. intx for residential you only need 12/2 in bathrooms and kitchen, or if you just need the 20amps.

Yeah I could have gone with 14/2 and 15A, but it really wasn't much more to do the whole thing 12/2 20. Made the runs a little stiffer and the wires a bit harder to cram into the sockets and switches, but overkill is OK by me
Yeah arcfaults are code in bedrooms these days, at least up here in WA. Every /real/ electrician (I just play one on the weekends) I talk to just scoffs and shakes their head.

hell in H.P.(a suburb of dallas) they make you run everything in metal, boxes and have to use conduit. you know how many of those old remodel houses have that cloth around the electrical wire for insullation.... all you have to do is wiggle the conduit and you can cause a short. but jeeze thats alot bigger bill than just having to run romex. i hear ya though, when it comes to electricity, always better safe than sorry.

hows the theatre room going? i assume thats what the equip. is all for? that was one of my specialties in electrical. getting power behind a tv or adding scotch lights and whatnot w/o cutting holes or making a mess.

You mentioned networking. Did you run CAT throughout the house or go more for a wireless setup? If you ran cable, how much did you end up using? I've always envied those who are able to network the house while building versus having to do it down the road.

Yeah, lots of wire:
2 Speakers in each room (and 2 outside sets) , 5 in the Great Room
1 Control Pad for whole house audio in each room
2 Data/Phone in each room (4 in the MBR and GreatRoom)
Cable TV to each room (2 in the MBR and Greatroom)
FM Antenna + Network in attic.
Overall it roughly came out to 1 mile of low voltage and 1 mile of electrical

Kudos to you, I'm struggling to figure out how I'll afford a home in the future (college still), and it's nice to see that some people are still making their dreams. It is a really nice place. I'm looking into moving to Washington after I save some more cash, currently I only have 20k. I hear the cost of living is way lower than it is here in the Tampa Bay area.
