Winter project and problem
Not sure if this falls under woodworking power woodworking or hand tool, There is a lot of each in these. But I though here was the appropriate spot.
Here in Iowa working in a unheated shop is not a fun thing to do, So I had to switch to inside (basement work) I have been busy with finishing my sharpening station as well finally finishing some hand planes and these.

And now for the rest of the story. I bought some what I thought was Bolivian Rose from a cabinate shop out east, it was his left overs. I never had a problem with the wood what so ever. Then I ordered some Bolivian rosewood from a wood dealer for Knobs and bang I had an allergic reaction to it. And then I found out that Bolivian rosewood is not a rosewood ( rosewood look alike) but a different species. Then I bought some East Indian rosewood and never had a problem of any kind. And since I never had any problems with the first wood I bought I figured I was okay since it was not Bolivian rosewood but actual rosewood. Boy did I find out how wrong I was when I started doing the final sanding on the totes.
Anyway I didn't have a problem until I started sanding and that was when I hade problems with making knobs, during the sanding portion of the build. This is what I have left and I will need to find someone to finish the final portion before finishing.

Anyway I have 16 totes I need to get finished. Some of them are rough sanded with no problems but I am not planning on finding out personally which ones are Bolivian and which ones are not.
Anyway life is interesting.
