    Default Best smells in woodworking.

    With Christmas fast approaching it got me thinking that there is a void in the market for woodworkers aftershaves ......

    I wouldn't mind splashing on the aromas of Organoil hard burnishing oil or perhaps Ubeauts traditional wax.

    There as also a Feast and Watson Jarrah wax paste that smelt so good I left off the lid and it dried out :mad:

    good lad mong!

    Then there is King Billy, it's the sort of wood to gnaw upon.
    Then cedar.

    Grasses: sweetgrass (from the USA).

    best smell in the world:

    The Tasmanian bush after a rainy night and an hour after sunrise.

    Yep Huon Pine and Id add Camphor Laurel... cant go past either makes the eyes water the nasal passages clear and the mind melt like butter gotta love that!

    I turned what amounted to pretty much my last peices of Huon today a couple of 7in pillars for a mantle clock... I loved it so much I scrounged the offcut waste bins and found another chunk (talk about really weird shape man I cut weird!! ) and had to turn that as well actually Im gonna give the shavings and sawdust a burl in the smoker and see what fishys turn out smoked in Huon... yyyuuuuuuuummmmmmm!!

    mmmm Im gettin a quite a few long and short 1/2in pegs I can tell you!!

    Am yet to taste King Billy but hey Im game!!
    Believe me there IS life beyond marriage!!! Relax breathe and smile learn to laugh again from the heart so it reaches the eyes!!

    OrganOil came to mind but I do love the smell of Western Red Cedar

    But my favourite Aussie timber is a tropical species commonly known as Gutta Percha... looks great too

    For mine, so far, the best smelling wood has got to be Camphor Burl (Cinnamomum sp.) Smells almost exactly the same as the gear in the sexy bottle to the right.




    If you want a good sneezing powder (or like a good dermatitis reaction ) get stuck into some African Makore.

    One of my favourites is Sandalwood. Not the cheap-asre incense or imitation eau-de-pong... but the real thing.

    Pity it's a carving wood more than anything else. But I guess the same can be said for Huon, eh?
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    shelawax of course......my wife is starting to get quite partial to the smell.

    Tone it down a bit, and I recon you could sell it as an aftershave.

    cheers
