Lacewood is a prime wood used in the tools I produce and the furniture I build for "high end" customers. I have been using this material for over 20 years and have had no negative experiences with it. I love it and my customers continue to specify it for their custom items. I must be blessed to not be sensitive to this material. See our products at - www.swantoolusa.com I manufacture tools and build custom furiture.

Horrible allergic reaction that recurs if exposed to even the tiniest particle. Even after a two day cleaning session in "space suits" my shop is still infected with this stuff. I literally cannot use my 900 sq. ft. shop now. About the only thing I can do is burn the thing to the ground. Beautiful wood, but not worth the risk. Trust me on this one.

Rash, itchyness, swelling of eyes and throat. Instructed by pharmacist to seek immeadite medical attention.Was prescribed antihistimine to deal with reaction. Rash continued for 2-3 weeks.Swelling lasted 1-2 weeks. More pronounced on sensitive areas. Reaction was a result of milling dry lumber and inhaling fine dust particles. Have known others to have same reaction. Highly toxic! Miserable. Have had severe reaction to Lacewood. Rash, itchyness, swelling of eyes and throat.
