Hi, and greetings from Florida, USA

This is my first posting of a question as a new member. I turn captured ring baby rattlers on a woodturning lathe as gifts to new born babies. I have found that the Pittosporum shrub wood is an ideal for this usage as it has great resonance when the wood is in the dried state. My question is, acknowledging that in the green state pittosporum wood IS toxic, when this wood is used when completely dried is it still toxic? A qualified answere would be most appreciated. All help greatly appreciated.

Hi Dennis,
Welcome to the forum! I hope someone can help you with your query.

I had to read your post a few times, as the first time I thought you were transforming baby rattlesnakes into gifts for human babies. :shock:
