Default Padauk and ebony table

I need to wear a respirator when working with ebony. It's the only wood
I have problems with and I don't have any other allergies.

Definitely will be sturdy enough. Envious that you know people with


that

much money to spend. Dream job. Bet it will be great. Looks like a


great

idea to me.


I can't remember if ebony is an oily wood or not. If it is, you'll have


to

select any glues you use carefully.

My copy of "The Complete Manual of Woodworking" does not denote ebony as an
oily wood, although it does mention that the workability is difficult. Does
anyone have experience working ebony and know the kinds of things to watch
for?
