I love cocobolo. I just wish I could make things with it. I turned some cocobolo on my wood lathe years ago. Had the nastiest poison ivy like rash that lasted for 6 weeks. I won't allow it in my shop anymore. I'm even afraid of owning grips and such made from it. Probably be OK, but why take a chance? I got a little bit of a rash from wearing a cocobolo pen clipped to my shirt. And it had a film finish on it.
On the turning forums they say it's not a question of IF you are allergic to cocobolo, but WHEN you will have your first reaction.
I think the known issues are taken care of. If you have any issues or know of another member who is having issues, PM daytime dave. As we head towards the holidays, hunt with your Henry.

There is, I think, humor here which does not translate well from English to sanity. - Sanya
