I recently scored a couple of old hardwood fenceposts but they have a really strong smell kinda like tar and petrol. I donned all my safety gear to carve them( respirator etc) and I'm halfway on my tiki but have since been told the stuff leaching out of the wood is carcinogenic it's called crear something or other? ..should I stop? or is there anything I can do to rid the wood of the smell ..maybe a sealant to make it safe? |
