You should also know that the sandalwood used for making saunders/sanders is different from the sandalwood for incense and candalmaking.  It is a different wood.  Niether is toxic, but the wrong one will have little coloring value and taste a lot more like sawdust.

If you grind your own, be sure your get the right species of tree    8-)

 I have read more than one reference to gingerbread, doubt it was made the

    You're right--it wasn't! Period gingerbread is basically a candy made by 
adding spices and breadcrumbs to boiled and skimmed honey. There's a recipe 
in  <A HREF="http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/cariadoc/miscellany.html">Cariadoc's 
Miscellany,</A> if anyone wants to try it. It's quite good--but don't try to 
grind up your own sandalwood from chips to color it! Even my newer coffee 
grinder couldn't quite succeed in powdering it, and the tiny bits of wood 
were occasionally noticeable........... :-(
