As stated, different types of wood have different base aromas. That said, wood that sits in areas that have problem with moisture, mold, rot, or aromas generated by other products, exam: Grains, Seeds, Drying Plants, etc.. can pick-up those aromas.

Consider a hot water wash with Dawn Original dish washing soap, rise with clean,cool water and placing on a hard surface in the Bright Sunshine for drying. Turning the wood pieces to enhance drying.

Consider removing the Bark!

Great advice from everyone above, the only thing I would add is that if you are smelling anything that could be chemicals then I wouldn't use them. Where did you get them?
