Ahhhh. Just spent a few hours of quality time in the shop, turning raw planks of red oak into a membership plaque for our fire department. I just _love_ the smell of that stuff.
No point, actually, except that I had a great afternoon.

My wife told me she likes the smell of fresh cut wood so now I try to woodwork naked to get plenty of fresh cut wood smell on my body :)
I did the redwood thing a few days ago. Today I enjoyed the unique smells of planter mix, potting soil, and adobe while planting some flowers in pots and the ground today.
