It's extremely heavy! In its unseasoned raw form has to be handled with care, for the wood is poisonous, especially if people get splinters. Expensive to build, but this splendid hardwood lasts almost a lifetime.
Footnote on wasps: We've cautioned our kids to avoid our fruit trees because wasps are having a booze up party on fallen apples. Totally. Legless. Wasps, I mean, not me.  |

They are awful to see; flat out scary!
That's fascinating about the wood! So much of Venezuela is all Amazon forest. People who went there had to wear long pants, boots with pant legs tucked in, scarf round the neck, with long sleeve shirts. I am sure it is beautiful to see but, not for me, LOL
Ok, wait, drunk wasps lose their legs?
