I knew that AYC has a reputation for being toxic when cut. So I used gloves and my respirator while I had sawdust flying around. I did some more research and it looks like it is an irritant that affects some more than others. I used my gear and vacuumed up the dust and haven't felt any ill effects. This wood is very soft, it cuts easy and sands down very well. I would say it is about like working with poplar. I ran out of light early so next trip to the hardware store will see me buying some stand lights. I didn't epoxy the spars to one face of the rudder because I didn't want to do it in the dark and in a rush. Besides I'm still waiting for my micro balloons and carbon fiber to arrive.
Getting dark early in Seattle.
