Toxic Woods

As anyone who has gotten a rash from working a particular wood can attest, some woods just "don't agree" with people. Many wood species are only slightly toxic, and then only to people who happen to be allergic to them, while other woods are deadly to anyone who comes into close contact with them. There are stories of soldiers dying after drinking from canteens made of yew, and people and cattle being made sick or killed by eating seeds or flowers of the mescalbean tree, from which can be extracted the alkaloid narcotic mescaline.

To understand how different toxic woods may affect you, you first need to know the difference between an irritant and a sensitizer. An irritant is simply a substance which irritates, and can cause problems with anyone after sufficient exposure. A sensitizer is a substance to which you must first be susceptible, like an allergy. Symptoms may not develop for some time, but once they do, they get much worse with each exposure.

Naturally, using a dust collection system, wearing appropriate masks or respirators when working toxic or spalted wood, and keeping your shop clean and relatively dust free are the best ways to prevent adverse reactions to wood. The above measures also extend the life of your equipment, and make your shop a much more pleasant place to work. Additional protection is gained by avoiding skin contact with dust and shavings, especially of wet wood. Long pants that cover high topped boots can help, as can wearing a hat. Long sleeves and gloves can also be used, but must be rolled up or removed when using machinery.

Note: This list is not intended to be all-inclusive; precautions should be taken to protect against exposure to leaves, bark, sap, and dust of any wood. See the legal page for more information on wood toxicity and protection.

The woods are listed below by scientific name, which I prefer to common names because it is not at all unusual for a half-dozen different tree species to be called the same thing, e.g. "rosewood" or "ironwood." Use the common name index to look up the scientific name for any species on the list. Where the species is listed as "(Genus) spp.", as in Alnus spp., this indicates several or all species of the genus (Alnus, in this example).
