its like several exotic hardwoods - breathing in sanding dust and sawdust not good, but finished product not thought to be harmful

Doesn’t have to be a constant width. Broader term for curved faces of any radius. 

 

I refer to my initial answer then I'm afraid. 

 

Why do you ask anyway, planning something new?

Ha. I thought it might have been that.

I suspect that is likely to be the least of our worries.

you'll be ok, cutting up a bit of fresh coriander  on it, but  just don't grind the wood up and snort it.

I'm sure the same was said about asbestos ....that didn't go well either

Tree Monkey, I know a lovely bloke who has asbestosis, he reckons he knows the job where he likely contacted it too, and he is quite bitter.

But with all the chemicals around us in everyday life that we cannot avoid, incl overused household cleaning chemicals, never mind the idiots that vape, plus me having already having had a stroke(aged 65) and the hazards of venturing out on the roads etc etc etc.

Hardwood dust is likely to be the least of my worries.

We gotta live.

p.s.

I took a look at my only plane, while I was planing some 50 to 60 year old salvaged Oak from a school lab, its a Stanley/Bailey No. 4. I have no idea how or where I got it, was it a present, but I have had it forever.

I still got the pliers I won as a metal working prize way back about 1972.

I have the Record No.6 fore plane I queued for in the fifties, It was a Saturday morning in a dedicated tool shop, Skeet and Jeffes, and one took a plastic number from a caddy and waited to be called, the service was terrible. It's under my bed to keep it rust free.

 

We have a cluster of asbestos related disease locally, associated with the local gasket factory, the medical officer, my GP in 1972, was in denial about it then, when I left the practice (after 71 years) I noticed his name was not in the practice history.
