We call your walnut American Walnut because we also have Queensland Walnut but it’s light in colour, I am looking forward in working with it. For now I have to get through the Tasmanian Blackwood which is very similar in appearance to your wlanut but it’s also alot cheaper and is the reason why I bought it. It planes ok but does have some reversing grain to tend with which is always a pain. However once I get through it I will purchase only American Walnut and pay the extra. One major reason is that I have to go through piles of timber to get similarity in colour as tas blackwood isn’t consistantly dark like walnut.
Pencil ceder also causes respiratory issues so I suppose your right ceder in general is a problem.
