[Bushcraftsman]

Hey guys

I recently got some wood from b&q for my buck saw project (juat says redwood on It)

I have quite a bit left over so was wonder if after ive oiled it...will that wood be safe to eat from?

Cheers

Yes, perfectly safe to use. It is Pinus sylvestris but is called Redwood as it allows sourcing from around europe & russia where it's non latin name alters according to area grown.
Good luck with the carving Jordan.

That's just the same timber I bought to make my bucksaw and it has worked well and was easy to work with.
