wood with marvelous aroma
I posted this before and got no response so I'm trying again. A while
ago I used some wood I salvaged from a crate. It was fairly hard, not terribly heavy, had grain like white oak (very porous), was somewhat greenish in color, and happened to be very curly--a very pretty piece of wood for use in a crate. But when I cut it, the basement filled with this remarkable spicy odor. White oak has a very noticeable and pleasant odor but this wood is positively fantastic. I encountered a small scrap today, made one cut in it, and the same thing happened. I could work with this stuff all day just for the atmospheric effects. Does anybody know what it might be? I know that if you ever smelled it, you would never forget it. |
