It's more soft than hard. It is really beautiful to work with. a real pleasure. more so than any other woods I have tried. There is no stink, but the dust is said to be poisonous.

The heartwood is crisp, but still pretty soft.
The sapwood is softer by comparison, say if you think of an apple with a nice piece of cheese the heart is the apple the sap the cheese.
Dmn, that's made me hungry now.
