Tree of paradise smells like peanut butter in a kind of overwhelmingly unpleasant way. I can't imagine anyone carving it though. Its only virtue that I've noticed is that when I cut one down and burn it in the fireplace, it's sap seems to be more flamable than most. It shoots little jets of blue flame out of the cracks in the wood and whistles as it does so...kinda "fireworkish."
