How easily does Star Board work with a chisel, planes, and similar hand

It will dull the edge quicker than wood, but other than that it's just
fine. Doesn't respond well to fine-grit sandpaper though, you've got
to cut a good edge or surface and leave it.

I've had pretty good luck on a couple of items where the round over
wasn't perfectly clean, by wet sanding, followed by a few passes with
a heat gun.
