I'm planning on making a set of combs for my girlfriend, and was all set to use cocobolo because it looks great and supposedly can deal well with water. Then I started reading about the 'poison-ivy like' allergy associated with the dust from this wood. I'm not worried about that because I can deal with the dust while I'm making the combs. What has me concerned is that she will be using the combs on her head. Is there an allergy problem with the solid wood too? If I make her something that causes her head to break out, she won't be so happy...
Thanks Chad
