Now we all know that we should all wear dust masks when turning and sanding. Some woods are particularly poor for your health http://www.wood-database.com/wood-artic ... d-toxicity
But . . . I mentioned this this fella the other day that I do alot of turning and he started to tell me about his mate who also turns and had told him that the knots in the wood are poisenous! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
I did tell him how it actually is - its only the very middle of a tree that is poisenous, it's all about the tree's self presivation and that's why when you see guys chopping them down they always where gloves and eye protection! (hammer) (hammer) (hammer) :ho2 :lol: :lol:
