Many may already be aware but, maybe some newbies to Walnut might find this helpful. Walnut shavings/dust should never be used around hooved animals, especially horses. It causes hoof rot...or that's the term horse people use. Have you ever noticed that no other plants or grasses grow under a live Walnut tree? It's a self preservation thing. Walnut trres are aggressively protective of their domain. I once visited a Walnut farm of 500 acres of cultivated Walnut trees. The owner said he never had to mow. Some of us two legged animals are also susceptible to the dust. Masks should be worn for sawing and sanding operations no matter the efficacy of your DC system. Walnut's aggressive tendencies can work in our favor, though. When the DC bag gets full after a lengthy session of planing, it gets spread around the outside perimeter of the shop. Sure does eliminate the need for the weed whacker. One more caution: DO NOT ADD IT TO YOUR POTTING SOIl!!! DAMHIK.
