Well, firstly, there's the artistry of it. Creativity can be very sexy; it's a kind of intelligence, after all. Hence writing, cooking, painting, ect. also being on the list. Not to mention, wood is a beautiful medium overall... and it smells nice when freshley cut.
Secondly, it's attractive to be good with your hands. Not just because of the obvious, but because it's genuinely admirable. It's a show of competence (or at least one kind of competence) and requires one to be hard-working, dedicated, passionate, and persevering. All pretty universally attractive traits.
A carpenter's hands may be rough and scarred, but they're rough and scarred because they've literally crafted furniture/boats/houses/whatever. That in itself is pretty attractive to me.
Personally, hand tools, because they require one to use more of their own power, if that makes sense. Plus, power tools are a little too dangerous for me to see them in a sexy context lol. Frankly, the tools themselves don't really do much for me.
Edit: two words
I'm glad people love the scent of wood. Working with green oak blew me away. It smells sweet! It kind of smells like vanilla and cinnamon. Theres actually a guy who made oak flavored ice cream by toasting oak scraps and soaking them in the cream he intended to use.
Also good to know i shouldn't be self conscious of all the scars and stuff. Thought it'd make me look like an idiot haha.
It’s the Scent of a Woodman
