I have an Allergy… to casemaking?
5-30-2006
It seems that I have an allergy to something that I use to make my Daguerreotype cases. I went absolutely gangbusters yesterday and cut enough wood to make about 30 cases. Unfortunately, the dense hardwood (tigerwood) that I have started using to make the case rails disagrees with my skin. All of my skin. Every square inch of my skin. I swear it’s not leprosy, it just looks that way. I think that I’m going to switch to using good old English oak or something similar.
