My favorite is chinkapin (golden chesnut) one of our Northwest Natives.
It is similar to pencil cedar, but nicer. The shop smells wonderful for
a week or so after I turn it. Myrtle can smell sweet or like a horse
stall. Cotton wood smells like someone threw up (I read that it is used
in horse stalls because the horses won't chew on it). Elm smells like
cat spray. Fresh cherry smells like cherries.
