Use some care with handling the bloodwood as breathing the dust can have some side effects. A good dust mask at a minimum.
"The wood’s dust has been reported as occasionally causing effects such as thirst and salivation, as well as nausea."

Apparently one of the guys where I buy exotic wood won't work with it without a respirator and cautions me every time I'm admiring it.

I had been using straight maple for the neck. I'm going to go fancy for my next one and put a fingerboard on a maple or oak neck, probably rosewood. I also picked up some bloodwood and wenge boards at Rockler which are also very fetching.
