Wood Air Freshener for Vehicle

[lukem]

I had a few freshly milled red oak boards in the back seat of my truck from the weekend. I forgot about them and when the sun hit the truck yesterday and heated it up it got all kinds of smelly in there.

Anyway, it got me to thinking...I can't stand the smell of the store bought air fresheners...but a couple cookies of cherry or white oak on a hot summer day might not be a bad thing.

Someone try it and report back

You may be onto a use for the odd ball length rounds.

Or a new seasoning technique:
Maybe use the back seat to season wood for a week or so, the R&R it with fresh stuff. LOL

I think oak is pretty bad smelling myself, i would choose cedar. I have had a bag of cedar chips in my car for months and when hot it smells like cedar.

Just some sawdust will do the trick. Nice if you get sassafras or cedar or something similar.

You try it; You need to get that Red Oak stench out of there anyway, right?

I'll try sass cookies, Hopefully add an "s" to what my truck currently smells like.

Probably put some in the boys' room, too!

Heheh. This thread is cool. Lukem's mobile wood seasoning greenhouse. Might be a way to accelerate the drying phase for getting it down below 20% MC for the stove. LOL
