    To me pin oak smells like cow manure.

    I cut on what I think was a quaking Aspen years ago- that was a guess based on bark cos the tree was dead, and the property owner claimed certain characteristics that helped lead me to that guess…
    Anyways, split and stacked it smelled like some kind of liquor, kind of whiskey-ish, but another component I really couldn’t pin down.
    It dried super light and I ended up selling a PU bed worth to a coworker for campfire wood.
