Title: ABW
Post by: Tarheel on July 23, 2025, 08:37:21 PM
I have found a new use for hand-sanitizer. I am seriously allergic to Africian blackwood....cocobolo and Bolivian rosewood. I can pick up the wood and have an allergic reaction. The other day I was moving wood, and I had to move some ABW. I immediately grabbed the hand-sanitizer I keep in the wood loft for emergencies. Then the light came on. I decided to do an experiment. I generously applied hand-sanitizer to all exposed skin on arms, hands and neck; then I turned this trumpet yelper. Normally, I experience an allergic reaction almost immediately. Not this time. Maybe I'll get up enough nerve sometime soon to try this with a blank of cocobolo. This one is on the way to it's new home in New Jersey. Customer wanted a split V style mouthpiece.

Another great horn out of the Breedlove shop. Glad you were able to overcome the initial set back.

Beautiful wood and horn.  You might try taking some Claritin on the mornings that you have to turn it.

I like the sap wood mixed in, don't see that too often on ABW.
