Question about Imbuya wood

[Marts]

Anyone know whether Imbuya is OK for eating utensils? I know the dust can be an irritant but beyond that.....

I've just made a spoon out of some for my sister as she's been pestering me for one for ages and I thought I'd try something a bit exotic. Now I'm wondering if I'm going to end up poisoning her

Any brazilian woodworkers around
