red cedar here too:msp_smile:
Gavman I'm not sure we are talking same wood. I'm talking about eastern red cedar, the kind for lining closets and chests. Chipped for peoples pet rodents also. Same kind your talking about?

Real stank red oak. Old timers around here used to call it piss oak. I guess it is an acquired smell but man I love it! Nothing better than a bunch of seasoning red oak all stacked up.
Then again cutting black birch is pretty sweet too. Gotta love the smell of some birch.
I love the red cedar. I have a bit of it still in the backyard - it takes awhile to split, because each time I split a round I have to pick up the pieces and smell them. Weird, I know, but hey.
You too, huh? I usually leave a few splits lying around just for that purpose. I'd say cherry would be #2 for me.

Walnut and sassafras. Cypress is earthy but I like it.

Black cherry! Unmistakable smell that is my favorite by far. Hickory is 2nd.
Walnut smells pretty decent

Mulberry. Love cutting it, splitting it, and burning it. Also the neighbors like it too; their house is downwind and it smells like we're baking a pie.
