Pickle wood! Bocote is such a pleasure to work with and with such beautiful grain.

Pickle wood?

I call it that because it smells like pickles when turning and sanding. It's funny how strong the smell is, but that there's no trace of it on the finished piece. I don't know anyone else who calls it that, just me.

Maybe it's just me, but I didn't notice a pickle smell.
