Not that I know of, I have a fairly sensitive nose & I had no problems sanding a piece on the weekend.

If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

Do you mean conkers as in horse chestnut? If so the conker or the wood from the tree?

sanding its a very fine dust , so could be some alergy problems . these can apply to one person and not others . best to watch yourself and see how you go .beautifull wood though
