Hi all

    Just a thought on using exotic woods. Before using these materials
    check out 'toxic woods' on google. Sorry I don't have the addresses
    on hand but there are charts out there that will give you the toxic
    levels of various woods as well as their effects on our humble
    bodies. 

    I've recently had an experience with Cocobolo dust from a small belt
    sander that resulted in rashes [eczema] on my face [eye bags turned
    into suitcases], inside of elbows, armpits and around the neck, not
    to mention all the sneezing. It has cleared up now but do take care
    and only use these materials with a good dust collection system and
    a mask. 

    And now on I shall take my own advice.
