    Tips for Wood Species & Glue-Ups

    I am relatively new to woodturning and I could use some pointers on a couple of items. I'm starting a new project (not to resale) for a couple of clients/friends and I'll need to glue up the blanks, 4'' x 4'' x 4'' per cup. Should I be worried about any grain direction issues while gluing up...

    IPE Brazilian Walnut

    I recently aquired some IPE Brazilian Walnut deck boards from a friend. As the wood is beautiful, my understanding is it's very toxic. Does anyone know anything about this wood and how safe it is for food items. Attached is a bowl I made from it. Thanks for any insight.
