Pictures look stunning.

I wonder how durable etc it is. Really, does it have the properties of wood or the epoxy resin.

Lacking grain, it probably only has the texture and general color of wood, but not the properties provided by the wood grain, nor its aesthetics.

I assume it would be similar to MDF wouldn't it? It's wood dust/fibres mixed in a glue.

Yeah makes sense. So not particularly strong or attractive compared to real wood.

It probably feels like plastics. Look at forust.com. You can see bigger res pictures there and the wood look "sandy".

It feels like wood but like a fresh sanded piece without any post processing.

Did you touch it yourself? Can you like sand it without pieces coming off? Their samples that are not the vases seems better.

Yeah, you can sand it, depends a lot on your nozzle size and if your printing fully infilled or with thicker fringe. If you are printing with full infill you can basically do whatever you do on normal wood/press board.
