I am planning on purchasing some walnut this weekend to start work on my
Stickley-rip off bed (I know Stickley is usually cherry or QSWO, but SWBO
wants walnut.)

I have not made an entire project from walnut before. How easily does
this stuff work? Chip-out prone?

My first experience with walnut was with a headboard and dresser. Nice
stuff to work with. I didn't find chip-out to be a problem but then I use
sharp tooling, blades cutters, etc.
Danish oil finish recommended.
Be sure to use a mask.
