I had a Mimosa tree die on my property several years ago. It had a
relatively straight trunk. I couldn't resist. I cut into managable lengths
and stored the logs for about two years. When I cut the logs into useable
boards, I was amazed at how beautiful the wood was. It was very dark with a
nice grain pattern. On the down side the wood about choked me to death while
machining it. I don't know if it was just a reaction I had, or if the wood
has some toxicity. I couldn't find much on Google about the properties of
the wood itself.

Wow, This past spring when I cut down a mimosa I too got a skin reaction..
Must be toxic! I was only using a chain saw so I'm thinking it may be the
oils in the wood. ..

It might be best not to burn a toxic wood in the fireplace.
