Shop Safty #1: Toxic Woods

Great info MW, I’ve been working with a lot of hackberry here as of lately, (didn’t see it amoung the list) and not just tipical hackberry but spalted hackberry so I’m sure any fungi in woods would just add to the toxin’s and health issues.

Would you please provide a link. It would encourage people to actually use the information.

Thanks for bringing this topic up.

Here is the direct link I got the information from:

Again, it is from 2008 so the info may need to be updated but it is a great start.
Blackie, I hope to get some hackberry somewhere down the road, The results I’ve seen are awesome. I’m also looking at Bethlehem Olive wood. The colors are rich and golden, makes the finished wood look wet. Just amazing. The main thing I want to generate is that we have to protect ourself’s in the shop. the dust and fibers we think are harmless ,may not be. so wear your masks, use your vacuums and be safe always.

MrWizard,

Thanks, for providing the link!
