The wood is sealed in the same oil every other knife i make is, Danish oil. This is not a food safe oil.... but it cures hard, and doesn't leech into food, it keeps the wood about its own business. Lots of woods are toxic... Yew, a popular knife handle, is deadly poisonous, but you need to eat if for the toxin to take effect... same for padauk... the toxicity would only get to you through the dust while sanding.. It gives me headache with even with a mask on. Perfectly fine as a knife handle though. Rachaels knife has a padauk handle....Shes had no probs.

It was just a thought as I read, didn't know that about Yew..😳 so safe to say you wouldn't use those woods to make a chopping board then!! 😉 thanks for the reply though Mark.

Yeah, you can make a chopping board with them, and utensils, You are not ingesting the wood, and if they are sealed well then every things all good.

Padauk toxicity...
Allergies/Toxicity: Although severe reactions are quite uncommon, Padauk has been reported as a sensitizer. Usually most common reactions simply include eye, skin, and respiratory irritation. See the articles Wood Allergies and Toxicity and Wood Dust Safety for more information.

Yew
Allergies/Toxicity: Although severe reactions are quite uncommon, Yew has been reported as a irritant. Usually most common reactions simply include eye, skin, and respiratory irritation, as well as nausea. Additionally, nearly all parts of the Yew tree are considered toxic and poisonous to humans, and care should be exercised when working with this wood species. See the articles Wood Allergies and Toxicity and Wood Dust Safetyfor more information.

 

[HillBill]

If you have a google, you will see loads of bowls, utensils, knives etc made from these woods.
