I was wondering what BAD wood looked like.
Thanks for posting the pics Bob.

Hey all the more reason for getting it from the Zoot Man. The New Zoot screening system.. If it makes it in the Zoot Man's shop without him having a violent reaction, it must be CLEAN Zoot!

Hmmmm I thought I just saw a picture of that wood in my local post office, something about multiple assaults!
Be careful Bob

Bob, do I see spalting in the wood? Could of had a reaction to the spalting rather than the wood.

Bob,

Glad to hear you're doing better. All kidding aside, after your story I don't think you'll be able to give that wood away. As pretty as it is, it's not worth risking your health.

Cheers!

John

Bob, don't listen to him. You can give it to ME.
I will take it.

Bob, that Jacaranda is to your health what Angelina is to marriage longevity. Meaning it sure does look pretty -- but oh the side effects.....

Hey Bob - I just looked (and barely touched) one of the boards you left behind - nice looking stuff, but scares me to work it. One of my students works there and cut it up on Monday, and he feels no ill effects, but there were 4 guys from a cabinet shop around the corner that went to the hospital as well - stay the heck away.

let me know the next time you are heading up there, maybe I will drop down and we can meet.
