I got this from BigRob,and it is some of the nicest,easiest wood I have ever turned,only problem for me is it's pink,not real sure about the hardware either but it's a done deal now.
Finish looks great! Agree with Can about the cracking. Hold onto it for a while just in case. I rough turn PI and let it sit for a few weeks before I finish it. That allows me to fill in any cracks if they occur.
PI looks good with satin kits, but IMHO, looks really good in black titanium.
