    I’ve never heard of that type of timber before but I sometimes have the same reaction to teak, usually about 15 mins after I have finished planing.

    Don’t know of the wood but Google never fails 🙂

    Triplochiton scleroxylon is the real name of the tree also known as Obeche.

    It’s a know allergen, reactions to dust and wood are dermatitis, nettle rash, asthma, lung congestion, wheezing, sneezing.

    The dust from Cypress, if I get it on my face around my eyes, causes my eyes to get red and puffy, and they itch really bad. It takes a couple of days to clear up. So now I wear a full vented facemask when I am sanding it.

    I have never had any other reactions to any other types of wood.

    thanks fellas glad its not just me i’ll have to take care as my wife already has a lung disease at least she’ll stay out of the shed lol (i just read this out to her and she said i’m terrible ), sorry not everyone understands the liverpool humour , are there any other species that are a known irritant (wives not included)
