If I do any varnish removal, planer chips are used to remove the stripper. Much less mess.

Ipe shavings and sawdust are also toxic to horses...in any quantity.

Raw wood products, during the process of decomposing will tie up the nitrogen making it unavailable to plants. Once it's decomposed it's fine and beneficial. (Disclaimer: I'm not sure about exotics.)
Someone on another forum sent me these links:

Hmmm, we have some ham and pastrami in the fridge... That doesn't sound like a good pizza.

Hey Jim! Maybe you could sell those bags of wood shavings if you put their more exotic name on them: "EXCELSIOR, only $5".
This is true. Add blood meal (or other nitrogen source) if you're worried about it.
I have managed to keep up with mine starting the BBQ so far, either because of my laziness or how much I barbecue.
From the land of alkaline clay soils -SE Wisconsin: wood shavings/chips/sawdust compost works well and quite fast when mixed with grass clippings. Wish I would produce more shavings to keep a good balance with the grass clippings.
I keep walnut out because the juglone in walnut can stunt a number of plants, and I don t know if composting destroys juglone.
The compost with the clippings works great here - no need to use peatmoss.
