[TheForge] Teak wood handles

[Bruce Freeman]

If you do start machining that teak, be aware that teak is one of
those woods that can cause allergic reactions.  This should not be an
issue if you're just refinishing, but be careful of sawdust.  I think
some of the woodworking sites on the web may discuss this better.

The total lack of evidence is the surest sign that the conspiracy is working.
