To me it's sassafras.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

Love the aroma of pine also, but not what it does to my tools! Walnut is my favorite. I have a piece of sassafras Roy Underhill gave me. Love that smell too. Cocobolo smells like cinnamon when I'm turning it, but the dust is pretty nasty, so I wear a mask when turning. Zebrawood is the opposite. Smells like a wet dog. Ugh! Cedar is another nice one.

Guns are supposed to be dangerous. If yours is not dangerous you need to take it to a gunsmith and have it repaired.
