[Woodcarver] [Fwd: Out door carvings]

[Ivan Whillock]

Check out the safety issues of using treated lumber--

Some claim it's safe, others post warnings about its use as in this quote 
from
http://www.howstuffworks.com/question278.htm:

"The chemicals in treated wood are generally not good for humans. This is 
why you see warnings advising you to wear gloves, avoid breathing the 
sawdust, and refrain from burning treated wood. Keeping small children away 
from treated wood is also a good idea."

However, treated wood is used in school desks, and playground equipment--not 
necessarily proof that it's always safe to use.
