Anyone here know if Chechen is food safe, once sealed? I do know it's a skin and lung irritant when milling.

Why tempt fate? Or, just go ahead and take a chance. After all, Romans poisoned themselves using lead for plumbing; and we still use it to 'glue' copper plumbing pipes. "Remember Flint, Michigan!"
That's my rant. I want some rhubarb. Hold the leaves.

We require all circuit cards to use Sn/Pb solder and if the parts are lead free, they must be re-plated (dipped) in Sn/Pb solder. Pure tin generates what's called Tin Whiskers that can short out electronics, causing failures and sometimes deaths (ask Toyota about that).

You can die today due to dehydration from not drinking water or die later from lead poisoning your choice.....or..... we can demand all buildings go to Pex tubing, costing billions or trillions to upgrade the water system. Then, in 100 yrs someone will discover that the chemicals found in manufacturing Pex causes sterility or some other ailment. I'm sure there was a cover-up by the Roman plumbers union regarding scientific findings of the hazards of lead. Gee, I sure wish I lived in Utopia, where everything was perfect and nothing could harm me.

Sorry I thought the "Comments area" would help you think about it.
To me I would not use it for daily use nor weekly use. There are a lot of other woods more suited for use in food use. Also being a turner maybe if it was sealed into the pores like putting it in a vacuum chamber and force poly or shellac to seal the pores instead of mineral spirits or something else which can be easily washed out. If you ask this question in Turning they could help better since that is what they done.
