Walnut dust does not taste like walnuts!:p
Nor does it go well with orange soda!
I was working on some target grips for my pistol and decided with my lack of dremel/carving skill and tools that i'd just sand it away.
Last time I use a sanding drum to remove that much material!:eek:
They're almost done and came out looking good just trying to get all the dust of my lips!:mad:

And be aware, Andrew, that some folks can develop a nasty sensitivity to walnut dust...

I for one get "the sniffles" with I work with walnut. Really messes with my sinuses...kinda like the effects mahogany have on me. To date, those are the only 2 woods that when I'm making furniture out of them, really bother me.

Even stranger, when I am wearing a particular respirator I have, and am working with walnut, the air I breathe smells like salami. Hebrew National salami to be precise.
