The wood is somewhat brittle to work with so I will stabilize it before using it for knife handles and blocks. I just finished turning a pen with some that I stabilized and it did not chip at all. It is also known for not expanding or contracting with temp or humidity changes. But I screwd up two attempts at making that box. It took a brand new end mill and the highest speed my mill would run to keep the chiping down.
