That sure yellow like Osage Orange or Horse Apple wood.
I have a stick of it that I have aged for 30 years. In the
20 year time, I put it on my metal lathe and turned down a cylinder. It is so hard it shines. I then let that continue to calm.No telling what I'll make, but it is beautiful.

Get a Festool dust extractor.
