The sawdust is highly allergenic , it might not bother you at first but
trust me many people develop an allergy to it , sometimes reacting
severely to it. So take precautions and wear a real good mask with fan
blowing the sawdust away from you.

The wood itself is very often twisted and full of knots so clear
straight lumber is not the norm. Once dry the wood is stable. It is
best suited for small projects It carves nicely . The purplish color
fades in time

Anyone know what I can expect from juniper wood for use in woodworking?

I already know that it makes for fine firewood.

Is there any reason why I can't do the rough resawing on a table saw, mainly
cleaning off the bark and attempting to square the trunk off/

I don't own a bandsaw yet.
