From time to time I create things BDSM from various materials,I have it in my mind now to extend my carving skills into carving things BDSM,namely wood objects for use and pleasure within the human body.My question is,safety being of a paramount concern,does anyone have any information as to what hard woods may be used for this purpose,has anyone any experience or knows of others using wood for items of pleasure?

Same reason why they stopped using ivory many many years.  However, if only one person is going to be using the object in only one paticular cavity over its lifetime, not so much a problem.  If your going to want mulitple uses out of it, it will have to sealed using some kind of polyurethane, peroid.

But seriously, safe woods have been discussed alot on these threads some swear by them and some swear at them.

Red, Yellow, Green are common safe woods.

Oh! Shoot a c-mail to SimplyMichael, he is an industrial tech! That is the man to talk to!

Status: offline 		Obviously, you want something fairly dense, and lacking in splintering as possible. I've made several insertable toys myself out of poplar, and one or two out of a fairly exotic wood used for pattern-making. All of them were given about 30 coats of clear acrylic. BTJ is quite right however, the bio problems with wood make it rather limited in its use. (The same reason tounge depressors are disposable at the Dr.'s) Not to mention, wood's inflexibility tends to make it somewhat dangerous for internal use. (The toys I made were only around 4" long, meant for anal and use in the mouth.) Frankly, there are so many other materials out there that do a much better job. Casting latexes, RTV silicones, etc. Now, on the plus side, wood is wonderful stuff for use outside the body: paddles, kink furniture, restraints, and even things that cause discomfort like a straddling horse, with an inverted "v" saddle...

i would agree, except for purple heart... most of your "exotics" tend to be toxic to some degree, although i can't say for certain about that one. i'd probably use maple or walnut.

The woodworking supply shop that i go to has a particular type of food-safe sealant that is designed for use on turned wood salad bowls. i can't remember the name of it, but that is what i'd use for insertables.

I have built aquariums on occaision.  Fish are a lot more susceptible to environmental contaminants than human orificidae.

Food grade resin will cover everything in a coating that nothing will cling to, hide in, or be able to leech out of.  This would be the resin that comes in 2 parts, epoxy and catalyst. 

Enjoy!

Agreed, I'm a chemical engineering student so this question really stuck out for me.  I can't think of any finite answer sadly, since almost all sealants and woods themselves can be potentially harmful =(
