The treatment to the wood makes the saw dust cancer causing >> Hello all, If the wood referenced in Devon's message above is the so-called "pressure-treated" (usually pine) wood used in decks, picnic tables, etc., the problem is arsenic. I don't know about cancer, but it is certainly a poison and you wouldn't want to use sawdust from such wood. Simon Toustou's lovely pillows (I have both a cookie & a roller pillow of his) are filled with sawdust I am told, and are covered in velvet. I have never seen any evidence of dust emanating from either of them. I suspect he uses the sawdust he generates himself and his pieces are usually of cherry, walnut, oak, etc. I wonder....has anyone else who owns his pillows had any "dusty" experiences?
