Bunya Pine (Hoop Pine) Milling

[Boon]

Am wondering if anyone has milled out Bunya Pine (Hoop Pine), if so any advice or tips?

I have not done this before but have a feeling that it is a wet timber, and possibly softer than Pinus Radiata (Monterey Pine)

Thanks in advance

No experience with milling but I do know that Bunya is a little softer than Radiata
Bunya is 1.7 kN green, 2.3 kN dry, Radiata is 2.1 Green & 3.3 dry

You could really drop your rakers in this of you wanted to or easier increase the drive sprocket pin count.
