New Guinea Rosewood for guitar neck?

I was given a nice piece of this rosewood and considered it for making a guitar neck, but I have no experience with the wood and so I'm hesitant to use it. It seems hard enough and flexible enough, but some comments on the structural integrity would be appreciated. For example does it tend to twist or move over time? Does it resist splitting like its Indian cousin?



Maybe I should ask this question in the wood section but I just wanted to see if anyone had instrument specific advice first. Cheers!
