Walnut. It takes me back to my childhood. My Great Uncle was a carpenter and his house smelled of walnut.

I love it all. I use red oak the most but I love the smells in the shop. That includes all the finishes. My wife thinks I'm nuts but I haven't run across a wood that I didn't even like. I am sure there is one out there but so far - I'm good to go.

Southern yellow Pine
Black Walnut
Florida Camphor
Olive wood
Never turned the above highlighted woods but would love to try it.
I can say Camphor is wonderful and Red Ceder, and Pine is also. I did have a curly KOA but do not remember the smell on that one. There is one other wood I turned that had a sweet smell but do not remember that one.
Anyone know what Pimmerson wood smells like?? I was thinking of buying a piece of that to turn as a bowl or box if I can find it. How about Red Bud or Dog Wood??
