  OK to work with but watch for splinters they can give a nasty reaction with swelling. itching and pustules.

  Cheers Martin.

It seems to love to give splinters. Un loaded the car and got 4 in 5 minutes.

splinters can easily turn septic so be careful.

greenheart it tricky to turn but as long as you don't mind a bit of extra sanding then knock yourself out mate. potentially a bland timber unless you have some that is a bit multicoloured...
