@sedge asked:

of all the types of wood you've worked with, which one's aroma do you like the most?

Red cedar smells pretty amazing, cherry's nice but there's a thin margin between nice hardwood smell and choking on the stuff. Honestly at this point while freshly cut wood is pleasant, if there's a strong enough smell for me to become really aware of it that registers first as a problem with the dust collection system. For my money the top woodworking odor is shellac, the old-fashioned kind that comes in flakes. Science has not yet invented a food that tastes as good as that shit smells, especially in your like third hour of french polishing the same little area gradually getting blitzed on ethanol fumes
