I would say embrace the project. This is what a 200 year old pine floor is supposed to look like:

If it works with your aesthetic, rough-hewn plank floors look awesome. As the poster above suggested, square head nails would look right at home face nailed into these planks. You can even lightly hand scrape the edges for a nice break between boards. Plus, since pine is so soft, *WHEN* it gets scraped or dented, those marks will just add to the "character" of the floor. Bonus: you don't need to worry about the stain going on evenly.
