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-)

Right! If I recall correctly, the Red Sandalwood that is used for
coloring has little fragrance/flavor (And mine certainly seems to bear that
out!), while the yellow/tan variety is the scented kind, used in incense and
essential oils. The later, at least, I've read is endangered from over
harvesting, to the point that a soapmaker friend of mine will no longer use
or sell the oil................ :-(
