I still break-out everytime

[Gary Max]

I wish these where not such a good selling pen--about two years ago the dreaded Cocobolo rash kicked in. Every time I turn Coco I break out in a rash---good part---it's cold enough here that I can wear long sleeves and latex gloves. I am sold out of these.

Awesome looking pens Gary. That is a shame that this beautiful woods makes you break out in a rash. Lacewood gives me a bad rash and makes my eyes swell everytime I turn it. So, I let Ginny turn it for me. [][][]

Gary,

I get a severe "runny nose".

Like you, I turned it for a couple years, no problem, then, I became "allergic"!

I rarely turn it, but those pens make me want to do some (Nasty man, you!!)

Great looking pens Gary,and don't feel like the lone ranger,coco. makes me itch also,I very rarely use it anymore.

You know the deal---if that's what they are buying that's what we are building.

They do look awesome. I haven't turned cocobolo, although I've used it in intarsia's. I never had a reaction, but I never had poison ivy before this year either.

I remember saying that!!!!

Somebody told me EVERYBODY will be allergic to it, its just a matter of time. I figured they were all wet.

Sniffle, sniffle!!![:0][:0]

Try putting baby powder on your arms before you start turning. The powder clogs up the pores so the coco doesn't get in. I don't know if it will work for the coco, but it works for me when I work with fiberglass. I never get a rash and I always get a rash from fiberglass. A professional in the car audio industry told me that trick. Hope this helps, and let me know if it works.
