It can be quite brittle and splinters a good bit. I thought the bog oak pens I made were tough to turn but were nothing compared to the Wenge. As said before a splinter in your hand would get infected quite quickly. Three guys I worked with made a stairs in Wenge and they all ended up needing to see a doctor.
