[Woodcarver] [Fwd: Out door carvings]

[Ray Mighells]

I avoid treated lumber like the plague.  I've been told by several 
knowledgeable people that the same chemicals used in Agent Orange are used 
in treated wood.  Even without making dust the cutting of the fibers will 
produce noxious fumes and you can absorb chemicals through your skin.. 
Maybe true, maybe not;  I would not chance it.  You can get as much 
durability from well finished wood.  FWIW Ray Mighells
