I need to make a hatch frame that involves some complex curved rabbets and
am thinking of using Star Board so as not to wind up with more wood trim
that needs re-finishing.

How easily does Star Board work with a chisel, planes, and similar hand
tools? I've worked with some other fake woods and they are pretty ornery in
this regard.

I think SaltyDog covered the "working" aspects of it, but I wonder
about the longevity of the stuff. It's soft and I expect likely to
discolor fairly quickly if it's left in the sun, subject to the harsh
chemicals of cleaning, abuse of scrubbing....
