You say it isn't easy to work with.. is that because of the grain / open structure, making it hard to get a good finish or are there other unpleasant features I should know about? |

| | | | splintering, not like the kind in your fingers, but when you cut it, or route it, it will sometimes take huge chucks out. so just watch for cracks, even hairline ones can cause big issues, ive used the stuff before, and i must say, i do intend to use it again. the end result is beautiful

Once finished the problem goes away. |

You must have had a different species. All of the Zebrano that I work has a bit of a delightful aroma.
