hurled these words of wisdom into the ether:

I had a BAD reaction to Rosewood when I put a piece of that on my lathe.

Was it an actual rosewood (dalbergia sp.) or one of the ersatz
rosewoods, like "Bolivian Rosewood" aka morado? The dalbergias don't
give me any problems...nor do any other woods...except for that
stinking Bolivian. That stuff made me break out exactly the same way
you appear to have. And to add insult to injury, the same areas that
were broken out before have become hyper-sensitized to heat/humidity,
so that when I come out of the shower, it looks like I was exposed all
over again, and my last exposure was many months ago.
