That's good info, everything I have read says it is killer on tools.
Waiting for Don to send some to try it!

Not true, at least not from my experience.
It's hard. It's dense. But I cut it with my standard chain saw
chain. I've cut it green and cut it dry (> two years sitting
out). It's certainly harder to whittle than maple, red oak, white
oak, or hickory.
