Anyone know if planes any good to mill?

You can mill it, it is fine grained and has a look like silky oak when quarter sawn, very pretty but has the same drawbacks as silky oak, won't stand up to weather or insects. drying it out might be a headache if you have high humidity and don't have a kiln room big enough, but it is very attractive timber...very good looking stick at the end of the job.
By the way what was the reason for the TD? Not leaves in the gutters I hope!
