It seems every so often someone comes on and says that oak stinks. I've never found one that did stink. Simply smells like oak and it is not a bad smell either. Perhaps some types of oaks do stink. Maybe water oak? Live oak? Some of the more southern oaks are no doubt different than the northern varieties.
