Toller spake thus:


The cloth with acetone gave back black. The deceased probably didn't
clean it before assembly. All is well now.

No side loading; I was boring a 1.5" hole in kingwood. The dust was so
heavy it looked like steam. Fortunately I had an air cleaner on and a
dust mask.

Unrelated question: what is "kingwood"? Sounds like ironwood or something
extremely hard (of course, "ironwood" is also a catch-all name that
includes dozens of wood species ...).

It is in the same genus as cocobolo and rosewood. Very dense and hard.
Exquisite wood, think varigated rosewood; I got a "buy" on it at $20/bf. I
will find out on Monday whether or not it can be glued when I try to turn my
glued up block.

If it's similar to rosewood, you might want to consider wiping the glue
surfaces with solvent (acetone or similar) before gluing, as the resins
interfere with bonding. But you already know that.
