Kitchen Utensils

[TimD]

Hi

I have seen a couple of posts asking about the best wood for making kitchen utensils and other items to be used with food. The consensus seemed to be Beech or Sycamore.

However, are there any woods that should NOT be used for food, due to either tainting the food, or more importantly toxicity of the wood?


Thanks

Hi - I think that Laburnum and Yew are two probably best avoided - cheers, W2S
