Default Walnut Workability?

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?

walnut machines great...

As other people said, the dust is rough, don't finish with a dark stain
(i've used light oak stain, and it looks nice!)
One more thing... drill pilot hols for screws.
