I think it depends on where you get it. I got some from Rosewood and it was junk and he admit having trouble with it.
The frogwood high density stuff  Dymalux may be better.
The plus to Frogwood is you dont have to buy the whole panel.

Tim first I have heard of that. I would consider HD a bit brittle but a lot of risers out there made of HD stuff
