The Scent of Wood


I have been lightly sanding down the rough face and edges on lengths of rough-hewn lumber I intend to use for trim at my cabin.  My work fills the surrounding air with the lightly-edged, vital scent of fir.   The scent of wood is important to me.  I believe that if the scent of freshly milled lumber were a planet, it would be Mars—holding the most promise for human endeavor.
