Hi guys, I have started a big carving from a huge butt of macrpcarpa and the fine sawdust seems to be giving my eyes some grief , I have an airshield pro so its only after I take it off to measure something , have a wee etc , has an6one else had this and does anybody know of anything I can do about it as my eyes are sore and gacky , never had a reaction like it before well not as bad as this ,thanks in advance Cheers Mark

Surley if its beech just let the mould grow as ,I am sure thats what causes it to spalt , and spalted beech is much cooler , to look at well thats what I think , other people may want just plain boards , but If I have mould on beech I tend to just leave it never had any probs , but make sure you have a bloody good dust mask on when first sanding it , I have an airshield pro best 200quid ever spent well almost Cheers Mark
