Wear your respirator and long sleeve shirts with cocobolo, the dust is highly toxic. Although many people work with cocobolo for years with no obvious reaction others react to it and other tropical woods very quickly. The effect is cumulative, it took me about 10 years of occasional use to become sensitized to it. Once it happened I found I could no longer even stand to be in the same room with a vintage rosewood guitar that I owned. Hopefully, you won't experience this sort of thing but don't take chances with it....
