I made 3 bridges from a nice block of coco I had before I knew it was bad stuff to breath. I wore a mask (always do) when cutting it and sanding on the belt sander but I didn't have it on when I did the final sanding. After that I found out guys were having allergic reactions to it. Now I ALWAYS wear a mask.

It sure is pretty stuff though.

Coco is my fav, but it is a pain to work with. Makes me itch.

Beautiful wood, but I treat it like working with poison ivy - try not to breathe it or get it on my skin.
