I cut padauk for the 1st time yesterday. I love the color of the wood now that I have seen it in person. WOW! Is the dust red! Doesn't seem to stain my hands or clothes but I think I will wash them separately just in case. No wise guys, I won't remove my hands to put them in the washing machine along with the clothes. I presume I can use poly on it with no trouble since it is being used in some of Roy Kings Art Basket patterns that I got from Scroller.
I'm not sure how much of a sensitizer the wood is because the sites I went to gave conflicting reports. One said rare and one said moderate to high. I'm not a real allergic person but I don't want to become one either. My wife however is, so I am careful about bringing any kind of wood dust into the house.
Any opinions from those of you who have used it? How about purple and yellowheart? Again conflicting information.
