I can only imagine how many of those would turn up from any lumber harvested from our farm  |
It was actually with a 1 1/4" diameter router bit in a router table and I never heard/felt a thing. The lead is so soft that it cut right into like like nothing.
Farm wood and even urban wood, like street trees or back yard trees can be full of all kinds of stuff. Nails, screws, staples, etc are very common.
This walnut came from a local supplier up in northern Ohio Amish country. They do at least some of their own milling/drying, but I have no idea how much.
I know they do a lot of barn dismantling and are very careful with cutting out metal bits and debugging too. We have used several truckloads of that over the years.

Learn from the mistakes of others, you won't live long enough to make them all yourself...
Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....
The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
