Too hard
This wood was so hard that it was almost impossible to work with. My joiner/planner couldn't't handle it. Neither could my table saw or my. Sander. I only used one out of the four pieces I received before giving up. I have high quality equipment but it didn't help. I'm sure some people could handle it, but not me.
