Now for the rest of the story - tablesawtom - 01-16-2021
I bought some what I thought was Bolivian Rose from a cabinate shop out east, it was his left overs. I never had a problem with the wood what so ever. Then I ordered some Bolivian rosewood from a wood dealer for Knobs and bang I had an allergic reaction to it. And then I found out that Bolivian rosewood is not a rosewood ( rosewood look alike) but a different species. Then I bought some East Indian rosewood and never had a problem of any kind. And since I never had any problems with the first wood I bought I figured I was okay since it was not Bolivian rosewood but actual rosewood. Boy did I find out how wrong I was when I started doing the final sanding on the totes.
Anyway I didn't have a problem until I started sanding and that was when I hade problems with making knobs, during the sanding portion of the build. This is what I have left and I will need to find someone to finish the final portion before finishing.

Anyway I have 16 totes I need to get finished. Some of them are rough sanded with no problems but I am not planning on finding out personally which ones are Bolivian and which ones are not.
Anyway life is interesting.

I won't volunteer for finishing duty (not a strong suit), but I must compliment you on how good that handles look.

Nice looking totes! Will look better with an application or two, or three of finish. Wish I could do something like that. Again, nice work.

I think dust on the skin causes problems too

Ah, I see.
Sorry to say, but maybe, the best use is to burn them?

Wait Wait: before you burn them: nitrile gloves and a tyvek suit if necessary. If you had a dust collection system with a HEPA filter, you could create your own glove box so to speak and capture most of the dust before it migrates to places it shouldn't. If you don't have a HEPA setup, I'd be cautious about re-circulating the allergen back into the air. Thats all I've got.

Also before burning, it might be worth a check to see if anyone on woodnet would be willing to final sand and finish them for you. The cost for shipping both ways and a little waiting would be better than burning.
