Wow, you've worked with some really wild wood, man!
SHarder, if you don't mind, I wonder if you'd tell us about this 'nose rebuild'...because just yesterday, I was getting a check-up, and the doc looked in my nose and asked "so how long have you had that nasal infection?"
I had noticed something wrong in that dept., but figured it would go away by itself. He gave me a scrip for antibiotic, plus--get this--
nasal steroid spray!. Yechh.
Anyway, last night I was trying to figure it out, and realized it started about the time of this enormous set of Cherry cabinets I did, 3 months ago.
I have read all the books, magazine articles, etc. about toxic woods...I discovered early on I am sensitive to Mahogany, believe it or not...but
CHERRY??
My question is, do you think your difficulty started out because of this? I've noticed for the last month or so I've been weak as a kitten (body fighting the infection) so I'm glad I got help, but hope I haven't damaged my sniffer.
