A fiend in the UK who is rebuilding a Mendle he got cheap from the builders production line sent me this

http://www.proto-pasta.com/collections/ ... dition-kit
is anyone here using this yet? will this be considered an advanced user filament like carbon fiber that requires extra skill to use?
here is the first paragraph of the article...

Who doesn’t love that piney Christmas tree smell around this time of year? Now you can fill your 3D printing studio with the aroma, even if you’re nowhere near pine trees. Proto-pasta, which manufactures all sorts of fun filaments, is introducing a new Aromatic Pine PLA, their first wood filament.
Aromatic Pine, which prints like standard PLA and does not require a heated bed, is made from ground Balsam Fir needles and gives off a lovely pine fragrance when heated. It has a wood-like appearance, too; prints made with the filament are a pale, translucent brown with flecks of wood.
