Default What wood is this?

Again, pardon me if I question your wood identification. *Red* oak has a
faintly vomit- or urine-like odor to it. *White* oak smells like toast and
vanilla.

This is getting funny. I don't know what red oak smells like, but the
other two are very, very familiar and not at all alike! Jeesh!


It's a sour odor. Not quite like either of the more "familiar" ones.

The point is, white oak doesn't smell one damn thing like vomit.
