 I seem to recall that rosewood, purplewood, and maybe ebony dust are toxic.


Yes indeedy do, as any luthier can tell you.

yep, back when I started working on musical instruments I made a new fretboard for my banjo and a fingerboard for a folk fiddle, from ebony.  I got very sick, from breathing the dust.  I learned the hard way not to forget my dust mask and rigged up a *good* dust collection box.
