Banksia wood? (lemmy.ca)

Has anyone ever experimented with Banksia wood for woodworking? The picture used by one random seller online looks pretty interesting. I’m not in Australia, so I don’t really have the wood available and don’t want to spend $$$$ shipping something that might be awful.

Don't know much about banskia, except that turners like the pods for lathe work.

I’ve never heard of it, looks really unique. Almost like the wagyu of wood!
