I carved some PT posts last year because they were going outside and would be fully exposed to the elements. That said, I wore a breathing mask the whole time and swept up all the sawdust/shavings and threw it away. Apart from that, I have no desire or intent to mess with any more PT wood. Arsenic hasn't been used in PT wood for years now, but it's still not something to treat lightly. As others above have said, I wouldn't recommend burning or wire brushing.
