Subject: Wood on a Metal Lathe: Warning

Just thought I'd post a warning here on woodworking on a metal 
lathe.  Some of the exotic tropical hardwoods are toxic.  I believe
that Paduque and Purple Heart are toxic.  If you're going to work
these woods (on wood or metal lathes) wear a mask.  Best to check
toxicity first with some woodworking experts.

Key-rect Boris...
I also wear long sleeve shirts and tight fitting surgical gloves
(really) as I get a nasty skin reaction from this stuff.
Cocobola as well
I have a list of wood toxicity if anyone is interested
(from rec.woodworking)
