I will continue to seek out ways to work healthy, but I must say, I got into chairmaking to get away from earmuffs and respirators!

As for your reaction to the walnut, I would like to share with you and your readers something that allowed me to continue woodworking.<br /><br />I had a NASTY reaction to redwood and seemed to be sensitized, to some degree, to most other wood dust. I saw a video that Mark Spagnuolo did on respirators and shop safety, that saved my working with wood. <br /><br />http://www.thewoodwhisperer.com/videos/dust-in-time/<br /><br />I have been using the 3M 7500 series respirator with the 3M 2097 filters and have not had a reaction since.<br /><br />http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/3M-PPE-Safety-Solutions/Personal-Protective-Equipment/Products/Product-Catalog/?N=5548558&rt=c3<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/3M-Particulate-Filter-Organic-Relief/dp/B00328IAO0<br /><br />Please check it out! I would hate to hear that you would have to give up working with this beautiful material.Ray Schwanenbergerhttp://rivingsandshavings.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
