[Woodcarver] [Fwd: Out door carvings]

[Ivan Whillock]

>From the manufacturer:


Do not burn ProWood® ACQ treated lumber or any preserved wood. (See Disposal 
section)  Avoid prolonged inhalation of sawdust. When sawing, sanding, or 
machining ProWood ACQ pressure-treated wood, wear a dust mask. When 
power-sawing and machining wood, wear goggles. Wear gloves when working with 
ProWood ACQ. All sawdust and construction debris should be cleaned up and 
disposed of after construction. After working with ProWood ACQ, and before 
eating, drinking, toileting, and use of tobacco products, wash exposed areas 
thoroughly. Wash work clothes separately from other household clothing 
before reuse.

Preserved wood should not be used where it may come into direct or indirect 
contact with drinking water, except for uses involving incidental contact 
such as freshwater docks and bridges. Do not use preserved wood under 
circumstances where the preservative may become a component of food, animal 
feed, or beehives. Do not use preserved wood for mulch. Only preserved wood 
that is visibly clean and free of surface residue should be used for patios, 
decks, and walkways.

Use hot-dip galvanized or other fasteners and hardware as recommended by the 
hardware manufacturer. Do not use preserved wood in direct contact with 
aluminum.

Mold growth may occur on building products, including untreated or treated 
wood. To remove mold from a treated wood surface, mild soap and water is 
typically used.

Disposal Recommendations

ProWood ACQ pressure-treated lumber products which are no longer usable-such 
as cutoffs, broken boards, sawdust or treated wood material taken out of 
service-may be disposed of in landfills. Treated lumber should not be burned 
in open fires or in stoves, fireplaces or residential boilers.
