Hey everyone! I haven't needed to post anything in a looooooooong time, but now I have a question...
Does any one know how toxic Purple Heart wood dust is? I know breathing it is, and I plan to wear a mask made just for toxic dust, but what about covering my arms and hands? What about my face? I plan to do my husbands purple heart medal on this purple heart wood I already received. I will close the shop door, close off the kitty door, open the windows and scroll it all at once while he's gone to his uncle's for a couple of weeks. It is 11:00 here and 76 degrees (F)! I also plan on cleaning up all the dust that I can. Is there anything else about this wood I need to know? I know it's very hard and I have blades set aside just for it. I will finish it with non-yellowing polycrylic gloss clear coat. Thank you for your help!
