I was at Laurance's shop in Santa Monica today Visiting and picking up some 440C blanks that he had heat treated for me. We started talking about Scale material. I told him I was offered some Rosewood scrap from a large remodel. He told me to be careful with that stuff, because he became sick when using Rose wood. So on my way home I got thinking about all the woods we can use for Scale's. I google'd toxic wood and it's effects. I found this web page with a lot of interesting information.

Kind of raised the hair on the back of my neck :what!: Some woods can even cause Heart problems :jawdrop:
also Some of these woods can cause skin irriations :jawdrop:
Some have poisions in the sap :jawdrop:
The bottom line is this won't stop me from my Knife making, but it will sure make me think :biggrin:
