we should really have a subforum just related to "best smelling woods". I have smelt rosewood, walnut, mahog, maple, purpleheart, oak, sapele... with walnut being a fav and cedar and oak being right up there. A while back I was hogging out walnut via forstner bit and then collecting the shavings and putting them in a pot pouri dish with some oil... is a really nice smell. might have to find a reason to do that again soon.
