Jaza'akumullahu Khaira'a, brother. Your having that woody diamond- Sandal-, rather precious than that, and then your loving it is really lovable. You have smelt and enjoyed and shared; well, it has made me joyous: 'TIS ENOUGH!Amiin to your beautiful dua brother May Allah give you the best of fragrances of this life and the next.
This piece my brother is just like you guessed: sandalwood. Its over 100 years old and that's why the colour is like it is.... I wish you could smell it.
I haven't tried burning from it yet but wallah the smell from the wood is so so so amazing. It makes me literary hungry(smells like cookies lol) and I want to bite it. But I'm fasting
Congrats Abasfrag!Delivery of the year?
Thank you so much @Al Shareef Oudh for amazing service and for the free gifts.
I've tried Saqr for now and all I can say is this is art.

@m.arif 45 grams, yes I tend to hoard
@F4R1d0uX Just got 'em before leaving for work, no I haven't tried heating yet, but because there is a wonderful aroma at room temperature I decided to bottle it right away. Now, every time I uncap it and take a whiff it's like smelling Oud
This is just the "A Grade", but over half the pieces are very resinated with quite a few of them very very resinated. The AAA and AA grades were sold-out when I browsed 2088TEA.com, but I am very happy with the wood anyhow I am glad Faizal posted the website on the Oud Wood thread(thanks Faizal,high-five!).

I don't have a microscope but I used a 10x magnifier held in front of my phone camera lens to take this picture.Even the brown you will love it is heart wood different than normal woods try it in electronic burner and see also if you have small telescope check the resin and take photo if you don't mind...
how is it than saqr 1
