table top

[Arek Kosinski]

I just picked up 5 2x10's someone threw away and they are pressure treated, for exterior use. Can i glue this up and use it for my new work table top? Or this won't gold up with glue being pressure treated. Thanks

After running them through your planner they should glue up - never have, but would think they would.

Up till recently pressure treated lumber was treated with arsenic. I would be really leery about running PT wood through the planer and breathing in the arsenic!

Just don't chew on it. The treatment nowadays is barely toxic to termites and fungi.

Same in England, the rose spray permitted by EU is just about useless.
