I started this thread over in the Made on a Glowforge area, but I wanted to be sure and share the file. I hope this is okay. I am new here, so I don’t want to break any of the rules or customs here. Such a nice group of people. Anyway, here is the file. Please let me know if I have done this incorrectly and you can’t get the file. And…please let me know if you happen to print these, and let me know what you think.
For me it isn’t an overwhelming scent, so I like these a little better than the standard vehicle scents. I might be biased though since I made these.

The title mentions essential oils. I wonder how long the oil scent lasts? Because car air fresheners never seem to last longer than a couple days in my car…they don’t seem to like working with the A/C blowing.
I added an essential oil to it. If you use MDF or the proof grade draftboard, it absorbs the oils pretty well. They seemed to last a pretty good time for me. Once they dry out a bit, they can be refreshed as well. Just refreshed mine after a month. It works okay for me, might not be right for everyone I realize. I was just glad a figured out something that lasts longer than the usual car fresheners for me.
I agree, the regular car fresheners never seemed to last for me. These don’t make it overwhelming for me, and they seemed to last a pretty good time for me.
I’ll have to try it, thanks for the file share. I have some oils that came with a diffuser my husband bought me a few years ago…uh…I’ve almost never used it, so I have plenty of oil, don’t know if they are essential or not, but I can try those…
I’ve been looking at cedar, but I haven’t found a good place to buy from. The single piece I bought a couple years ago was pre-sealed and didn’t give off a scent. But I recently took a trip to my lumber yard and noticed they had 1/4" cedar sheets for sale- they were all sold out.
My home depot is…not great. I’ve been to woodcraft before, but it’s a far drive and the prices are not so great. I think the 1/4" thick cedar was 4x8 feet and 45-ish dollars at my lumber yard, but I was just reading the price tags, they were out of stock. They started selling 1/8" maple though, it’s a 4’x8’ sheet and it’s the same price as the 5’x5’ sheet of baltic birch. But, it doesn’t smell as nice as cedar, I was just getting off topic
They also sell cedar planks in grocery stores, typically used for grilling salmon. Places like Homegoods and Tuesday Morning have them at times as well.
Wow!! Thanks for the overwhelming response! I am definitely on the look for some cedar now. I see they sell cedar planks for closets on Amazon, and they aren’t terribly expensive. Beard oil…hmm. I wonder now what else you could consider. Please share if you have a go at these.
I always love the smell of the cinnamon pinecones at Christmas too. I think oils will hold up better, anything that is alcohol based certainly won’t like aftershave. I feel I must do a study. Haha!! At least my vehicle will always smell nice during my study. Beard oil might be a real good option too. such possibilities.
Anyway, here is the file. Please let me know if I have done this incorrectly and you can’t get the file. And…please let me know if you happen to print these, and let me know what you think.
