So... I'm allergic!

Not sure you can see real well in this picture but my face is pretty red. I wasn't really paying attention to my skin as I was working, but when I came inside after a heavy session of sanding, my face looked beet red. Like I had been in the sun all day.

The wife said something about it the first time it happened but we didn't really think anything of it. It wasn't until I started sanding the next day that I noticed it was turning red and burning again. It seems like I am allergic to koa wood. :-/

So, if you've been hoping for regular updates this last week, they've been pretty sparse on account of the fact that I can only sand for a little bit before my skin is burning and I have to stop and wash. BUT I think I've got it ready for the paint booth! ​​
