Hi!
Can anyone tell me which woods emit toxicity when burned?
This would be in the application of burning in designs, pictures, patterns, etc... with a pyrography (wood burning) pen tool.
A discussion came up on burning in a pattern on a coffee table that someone made. They want to burn in some sort of design on the top of the table.
Someone mentioned that some woods can emit toxic fumes when burned.
They believe Walnut is one example.
I am aware that some wood which has been treated with chemicals can emit toxic fumes but I am inquiring about natural wood.
Anyone have any info whether this is true and therefore which woods should be avoided when it comes to pyrography?
Thanks,
James :)
