Anyone ever use Jatoba for a fret board?

I found some Jatoba (Brazilian cherry) while dumpster diving the other day. It is perfectly quarter sawn and looks great.

I did some research and found it's used on banjo's, bass, electric and a few have used it on acoustic.

According to the Janka scale it's 2.690 lbf (11,950 N)
compared to ebony at 3,080lbf (13,700 N), and Indian rosewood at 2,790 (12,410 N) which means nothing to me since I don't really understand the numbers but I do know it's very dense and heavy by holding it in my hand and working with it.

I use it for inlay and accents. I think it would be a good choice for a FB. Really tough on tool edges though.....
