By pressing, irregularly shaped items can be produced in the form of boxes, tubes, or finished house structures. As well as flat presses, worm presses may also be used.

Macassar has been long in use for expensive rulers. Occupational dermatitis may occur, but reports are found rarely in the literature. Buschke and Joseph (1927) observed hand eczema in a cabinet maker due to Macassar ebony, while Bleumink and Nater (1974) obtained positive patch tests to an ethanol extract of Dalbergia melanoxylon in 4 of 20 patients suffering from airborne contact dermatitis due to tropical woods. 

Chlorothalonil is used as a wood preservative in Northern Europe. Johnson has reported an epidemic of contact dermatitis in a Norwegian wooden-ware factory [136]. Of the 20 workers, 14 had work-related skin complaints, and 7 had contact dermatitis. Bach and Pederson reported contact dermatitis to tetra-chloroisophthalonitrile in a cabinet maker [137]. Spindeldreier and Deitchmann have also reported three cases of contact dermatitis to tetrachloroi-sophthalonitrile [138]. 

Epoxy resins, hardeners, diluents, and acrylate compound glues are frequently present in the cabinet maker s shop (Kanerva et al. 1995b). A 1995 review of patch testing results in Helsinki showed that 6% of subjects showed a positive patch test to at least one of a series of plastic and glue allergens, emphasizing the sensitizing potential of these chemicals (Tarvainen... 

This chapter has provided a general overview of the woods and chemicals most commonly associated with occupational disease in woodworkers and cabinet makers. Though there are over 300 species of woods reported to have an adverse effect on human skin or other organs (Woods and Calnan 1976), only the most common species were included here. Since contact dermatitis to the chemicals involved in the woodworking industry is much more common than reactions to the woods themselves, the general categories of chemicals common to the woodworking industry were also included.

A study of history shows that glue fell into a period of disuse that lasted until about A.D. 1500—1700, when adhesives were used in the building of furniture. Some of the greatest furniture and cabinet makers of all time used adhesives in their products—names you will still recognize today like Chippendale and Duncan Phyfe.
