That FnTree is still reminding about idiots wanting to learn about trees :doh2:. I'm wondering if my thumb is ever going to kick out your part of the country :innocentwhistle:.
I worked with a guy many a year ago that got some real neat colored/grained wood from some packing crates that came from Korea. He carved some really neat stuff out of it. Couple days later his hands started swelling up and he got down right bad sick. The docs were stumped until they found out he had carved some exotic wood. Turned out the wood was bad toxic. There was even a ban on that type of wood being used as crates but foreign country's don't seem to care what they ship out just what comes in. It took Charlie a long time to get over the exposure to the toxins in that wood. He never really did get all the way over it. Seems like he became allergic to everything afterwards.
Barry, You still have a bit of the thorn in your finger? If you do it may need some help comming out. Take a piece of the lining from an egg shell and lay over the hole where the thorn went in. cover that with a band aid or seomthing. It shouldnt take long and it will draw it out.
The thorns on a locust have a waxy coating that is toxic. It will need to fester a little so that it can come out. The egg shell membraine will help with that. If you would rather use something else get some "UTTER BALM". It will work even better than the egg shell. Dont know if they have it where you are at. It works wonders drawing out poisions, infections and such. It is in a square can that is green and red and has clover all over it. Usually found in the animal medical section of your local farm supply stores.
Barry,
Slag is just trying not to get banned for using a "bad" word (utter rather than bag). Normally it is call Bag Balm and you probably already have it.

Yes sir guys I got the 'Bag balm" here and I'll be putting it on right after I make sausage today. Thanks for the tip slag and I have eggs too. Might wait until the wife gets home to put on the balm as that always excites her with the thought I'm going to massage an ol' bag :wink:.
Where the [L] is the smiley.
And it will ruin a good saw chain right quick. First one I cut showered sparks the whole time and took 2 chains to get er down. When I burned the stump it burned for two weeks. Wild watching smoke come out of hte ground 20 feet from the original stump.
If ya still have it when ya come back I will be glad to operate :eyebrownod: And you will if'n you dont get er out now. They tend to keep on going sometimes. Jimmie
Might ruin a saw chain but it makes a heck of a good fire wood. Love watching it burn in the fire at the camp site..
My grandma got me to calling it utter balm when I was a kid. I have seen my mom use it on all kinds of ailements. Best drawing salve I have ever seen.

Back to the............ Wood Toxicity Table
http://www.billpentz.com/woodworking/cyclone/WoodToxicityTable.cfm (http://www.billpentz.com/woodworking/cyclone/WoodToxicityTable.cfm)
I can not get this to print...... and I think I should take it to my Doctor. :eyebrownod:
Cause I feel fine know........But every now and then I still have a spell........and they are scratching their heads over why it is happening....... I see a lot of wood on here in red that I have used recently.
If one of you fellas can........Please send me a printable version of this.....
:confused: I got it to print but you'll need a magnifying glass to read it. Want me to send it?? Or just talk to your Dr & email him the link & tell him which woods you worked with on the list.

E-mail it to me Glen...... alscalls@yahoo.com That would be better than nothing. :wink:
:confused: Email what I printed? :shrug: Or email you that link? :shrug: I'm kinda lost on this one Al. :wo:
I E-mailed you a list in .txt format Al.
John
Thanks John. I wasn't sure what Al wanted. :yoyo:
Thanks...
If someone reminds me, I can convert that to a pdf file and make it printable or saveable, and post it. By the way does anyone know if it's copyrighted?
But I wont be able to get to it until this weekend.
That would be awesome Jim.......cause I am still having trouble with it.
I aint stealing it I am trying to show my doctor......I dont know how to tell if its copyrighted or not..... :shrug:
Al, you'll know your blowing toxic wood when your lips swell up like Angeline Jolie's. :alscalls:
I truly think the exotics screwed up my heart........and staying away from it makes it much better..........I aint even taking the meds. now..... :shrug:
Was ya turning a particualar exotic wood at the time?
Several...........Bocote, yew, cocobolo, Grapevine, apple, pear, blackwood, and I been cutting up all kinds of left over wood in the shop preparing for turning..... mostly drilling and preparing bands.
Some were mixed bag woods from wood craft so I really dont know for sure what they were. :confused:

Pleeeeeeeeeease,plet,plet,plet,plet,plet,pleeeeeeeease! Pretty please! :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:
YEW!!!!! that is one nasty wood!! Yeah if you were working Yew I could belive you developed problems.
I think If Jim could, it would be a real nice jesture to have that sticky/posted here on the site. If you got the wood from wood craft they may be able to supply you with something like a MSDF for any wood you are working.
Most folks know my Wood Tech background. That being said, I've seen some terrible reactions to various woods throughout the Wood Products industry. This is serious stuff that folks should be aware of! I once did some testing on some wood from Cameroon Africa in the lab. A woman working there, handled a few pieces in passing...Long story short, it made her deathly ill! To me, it only produced hay fever like symtoms, which I shrugged off? Was I whistling past the graveyard?? There are oils, and chemical toxins, and decay mechanisms in alot of woods. Ingested, they pose a serious health threat! Heed the warnings if you are experiencing a reaction.
I've mentioned this story before, about overhearing a conversation at Cabelas, between a customer and a Duck call counter salesperson. The customer was saying how a friend was in the legal process of suing a call maker for a reaction he had to a Cocobola call! Unfreaken real! But that's the nature of the beast. I love the looks of Cocobola, but have sworn off using it for that very reason. Just my two cents worth...
Dave
That wood toxicity table should be printed out & hung on your shop wall. Right next to the respirator. I just use dust masks but then again I don't mess with a lot of the bad woods. I even quit using coco & purdy much all Walnut. I will only make walnut pens & I wear a mask for those.
Have ya ever seen the after effects of a mahogany splinter? It aint perty. No, not at all. I worked in a furnature mmanufacturing facility right out of high school and learned first hand that mahogany is a nasty wood.
Cocobola is pretty and I have one call made from it. glad it is an open reed call.
I have used walnut for many many years....I have not had any trouble that I know of.....One thing I have changed is my shop is very enclosed now and I may look into a dust collector.....when its warm out I will go outside and do a lot of my work Like I do with antler calls. My small lathe is portable and I like turning outside anyway.
Went shopping for a respirator today ....... :whew: Lots to choose from ....... :confused:
I had to quit turning walnut until I got my respirator. That stuff was killer on me.
JOhn
Interesting post you should read Al . I just found it over at another board where I lurk :biggrin:
