I just turned some marblewood and that has a little odor to it and I've been cutting up a lot of desert ironwood lately and that has a little odor to it and I got to thinking what is the stinkyest wood you've turned?
Water Buffalo horn makes my workshop smell like I'm working in a cesspool. It's even worse when you start grinding it and making a fine dust. No respirator in the world can combat that smell.
That sounds like a good plan to me...And I guess I may as well cancel a segmented Buffalo Horn and Black Stinkwood combo:giggle:
I'd have to agree with the yellowheart and marblewood. DocStram gave me some marblewood a few years ago and I thought it was old wood from a chickencoop or something. Smelled like chicken crap. I drilled it and didnt turn it because I was scared it had some sort of bacteria in it.
ZEBRA WOOD is the worse I have done
I'll see your Water Buffalo, but I'll raise you an Ebonite!
"Daddy, why does your shop smell like ass?"
I dont like Bocote. I'll take antler any day over bocote and cocobolo.
I have turned a wood called Black Stinkwood. When you work with it it smells like a old outhouse seat that been "%$&#" on for 40years, but the wood is very pretty and therefore the smell is worth enduring.quote]
Hmmm... you just gave me another source for pen stock. Up here in Maine there are a lot of old outhouse seats... :biggrin:

The first time I turned desert ironwood, my daughter walked in and said "Daddy, why does your shop smell like ass?"
Maybe that stinkwood would be good therapeutic device to cure people who chew on their pens!

camphor smells a little rough
I like the smell of camphor.
Okay, that's officially crossed off my turning list:biggrin:
