Zebra wood smells like the droppings on the floor of a zebra's stall.

We all know Cedar smells like Cedar. Red Oak smells like wet dogs to
some noses.

What about unexpected aromas?

Green Sycamore smells like silage. Grew up in Wisconsin, and when I am
turning Sycamore it triggers childhood memories of playing in the silo.
I assume the sap could be fermenting ( like silage does), but it seems
as if I remember the same odor when the tree was first cut down, as
well.

Southern Magnolia smells like mineral spirits; not turpentine like
Pine. Even the little decorative Japanese Magnolia has that nice clean
spirits smell to me.


--Canarywood and bloodwood both smell distinctly sweet and fruitlike
--Olive smells just delicious
--African Pear smells _exactly_ like a horse stall.
