Is working with cocobolo dangerous?

Leaking seal between your face and the mask

I seem to have problems with my eyeglasses fogging in cool weather while wearing any respirator. I also wonder if there ar any recommended air supply systems, possibly with a pump? The exhaust of my breath is what is fogging the lenses, then I have a hard time seeing what I am doing.

Your breath should exhaust through the respirator. If your fogging your glasses, most likely, the mask is not making a good seal. Besides fogging your glasses, if the mask is not making a good seal to your face, your also breathing in the stuff your trying to filter out :(
 
I had no idea how ornery cocobolo could be to the cuemaker!

After reading all these excellent posts, I think the cocobolo in my cue is beautiful just the way it is! Figured very nicely. Much as I love stack leather wraps, installing one will cover up some of the best part of the butt. At this point, I'll just allow the beautiful simplicity of a highly figured cocobolo butt fullspliced into a perfectly mated maple forearm to shine through.

Sounds like a nice looking cue, no need for wrap. Any pics?

Unfortunately my camera isn't capable of taking nice pictures of it.

However, this picture from the Schmelke website is not too bad, and gives a reasonable idea of what it looks like:

Except, mine is better!
