Toxic, well yes, what chemicals do pine resin contain. here's a few Turpentine (also called spirit of turpentine, oil of turpentine, wood turpentine and colloquially turp is a fluid obtained by the distillation of resin from live trees, mainly pines. It is mainly used as a solvent and as a source of materials for organic synthesis.
Pinesol is turpentine deluded with ethanol.
Turpentine is composed of terpenes, mainly the monoterpenes alpha-pinene and beta-pinene with lesser amounts of carene, camphene, dipentene, and terpinolene.
This is what plant Uses to kill insects, when wounded!

Fishing and now woodworking? Can you run out of way to attract my views?
But on another note, don't use railroad ties for interior projects. Get yourself some 7x9 lumber if you really want that size lumber. Railroad ties are treated with creosote to prevent rot, and creosote is classified as a probable human carcinogen. I'm not going to say it'll give you cancer, but it's a risk most aren't willing to take. But I will say it is known that creosote, including railroad ties, can cause contact dermatitis at least.

Looks like old Pentachlorophenol treated wood. It was used to treat a lot of utility poles, and cross members. I don't think its used anymore. Nasty stuff and definitely not something you would want in your house. Its obvious cut from an old telephone pole because of the heart wood. All utility poles are made from a whole tree so that's why you have the heart wood. Probably would last for year outside but you wouldn't want people to be sitting on it.

Hey LFG, I worked for CNRail ( Canadian National) for a couple of years, I worked on a rail gang, and I knew guys who worked there for twenty, and they all seemed fine. However, they didn't chew on the wood. If you think my baby won't, you are delusional. It takes me back to my generation, and the lead based paint we encountered. Nothing makes that safe for using in a residential setting.

Must be one hell of a good friend. I won't even cut railroad ties with my old backup chainsaw. They get sawzall action and landscaping duty at best but even that is banned in a lot of areas now. At the very least get him some citrus cleaner so he can try to clean his shop tools up and get the smell out. Hate to be that guy but you also put a serious hurting on any blades that wood touched.

About making your table safe, If I was you I would use epoxy resin on it. this would give you a 100% encapsulation on the wood top legs and all. you may have to do the top first let it dry a few days then turn it over and do the legs and underside of the top. But that would indeed make it safe, Good luck.

Ok folks - do you really think a brain tumor survivor is going to use a toxic substance to build a table and then label the video I think its toxic? Not to mention running a 10 railroad tie thru a 5000 planer. Well played. My bet is he knows exactly what hes working with. Looks great.

I wouldn't worry to much about the wood, the odds of you getting sick from it are rare, and everything causes cancer even though most cancer is Hereditary, lol

That is 100% creosote, also known as what's left over at the very bottom of a petroleum still splitting off the rest of the fuels. Do NOT use it indoors
