Hey, anyone ever had a reaction to Pau Ferro (murado, bolivian rosewood)?
My hands are swollen. I have raised welts that itch and burn from my elbows to my finger tips. Very uncomfortable but not generally painful. Except for a 15 minute episode yesterday afternoon when my hands felt like they were on fire. A long soak in scalding hot water seemed to help this.
Saturday I turned about six bracelets and one pen from this stock. Now I wonder are these items safe for me to give to someone? I know that pau ferro is used in luthery and I have seen pau ferro firearm grips on the market, so I hope that it is only the dust that is a problem.
Can I take any precautions to prevent another reaction like this or am I through with this species of wood?
Any remedies that you can recomend?
