Bedding - possibly a silly question!

[bikina]

Hi, I have been offered 15 bags of oak wood shavings from a planing machine. Does anyone know if this is ok to use for bedding?

Lots of people get bedding straight from the mill. I've always found it too dusty to use though - so wouldn't be for me I'm afraid.

I get my bedding from a local builder and it can be quite dusty but I just make sure that they are out when I put it down. As mine use the stable as a field shelter it also dries up the mud on their legs really quickly.

hard wood is not very absorbent.
