[Steppes] Wood?

[Vicki Marsh]

Isn't purpleheart the one that you have to be very careful of?  I seem to
remember that the sawdust can be toxic and the you have to use specials
techniques to deal with it, such as a surgical mask and a sawdust collector
on your tools (a vacuum of some sort).  A long time ago, I had a discussion
with Master Iolo about working with some of these woods.

Just want you to be careful - check with the experts on the handling of
these.

Anyone know places to get woods such as: padauk,
bloodwood, purpleheart, wenge, cocobolo, rosewood,
bubingia, peroba rosa, hawaiian koa, black walnut, and
teak. The biggest one i am interested in is the
cocobolo. Would need the boards to be atleast 3" thick
and roughly 36" long or longer. Am very interested in
finding a source on these rare woods. Have found the
more common types of wood at home depot and the like.
but not these. Please email me privately
