estebanana wfrancis86, I actually added the info on POC toxicity, because it is us one-and-doners that might not take the proper precautions with these woods. Plus, it may be important to consider these things if someone has a pre-existing condition… estebanana, I do not think anyone knows what level is considered heavy exposure, or even to what extent the kidneys are affected by “heavy” exposure. It seems the only reason it is known that POC can affect the kidneys is because mill workers developed symptoms. So mills had to cut POC in small intervals to help protect employees. It may be a non-issue at the guitar building level. It just reminded me that I should be careful with these woods, especially since I am not building in a properly equipped workshop. I did find it interesting that wood can affect one beyond the usual nasal, throat and lungs. As for the screen name, I though you of all members might appreciate it. I actually thought of you when I picked it, because I remembered your “rum baking” and “rumba king” comments… Here are the POC links if you’re interested: http://andrewsforest.oregonstate.edu/pubs/pdf/pub59.pdf (p. 54, 60) http://www.wood-database.com/wood-articles/wood-allergies-and-toxicity/ http://www.wood-database.com/lumber-identification/softwoods/port-orford-cedar/
