Good idea, thanks - shall give it a tryPerhaps it will perform better if shaved or ground into powder? I've noticed the denser woods benefit from this
I've been burning so little lately, at this rate I have enough wood for a lifetime 🤣

Burn more brother.“I've been burning so little lately, at this rate I have enough wood for a lifetime 🤣”
I can relate. As I get older and I’m able to see the rate at which I’ve been going through things over the last 30 years, I’m realizing there’s some things that I just don’t need to collect any more one of them being SandalWOOD. Don’t even need to restrain myself much. I will never consume what I’ve got and I still have 95%+ of the sandalwoods and agarwoods I purchased 20+ years ago.
I also picked up a rikoku set (baieido) in 2006 or so and I have not made a dent in any of the woods…
Scarcity mindset taken too far clearly.
What the heck am I waiting for??
absolutely, I don't really save anything (clothes/scents for example) for 'special occasions' now - they rarely come and my life is fairly routine. The money's already spent, so NOT using them is the waste, instead of saving them for certain times.Burn more brother.
Open the windows in the morning do a nice deep fumigation.
Then put a nice piece on and do the wardrobe.
Make yourself a nice drink, sit on the porch and light a nice piece to study and enjoy.
Repeat routine before bed.
Enjoy it brother, it's mean to be enjoyed.
Even if you fall asleep, the wonderful aromas help your sleep, so win win 😉absolutely, I don't really save anything (clothes/scents for example) for 'special occasions' now - the rarely come now. The money's already spent so NOT using them is the waste, instead of saving them for certain times.
swiping expensive oud 30mins before bedtime and missing the development of the scent? why not!
Burned some Nha Trang wood from Fushigi oud tonight - not very good, very little aroma to it. I bought quite a few various woods from him along with some oils - really like the oils but the wood seems generally void of much smell :/
hmm! Burned some Papua wood from this (non forum) vendor again today and was pleasantly surprised, getting lovely incensey wafts as I was doing pullups and dips on my gymnastic rings not too far away. The Nha Trang I burned the other day wasn't great, but some pieces are quite thick, and I made an effort to choose a thinner Papuan piece - well, I went to burn a bit, decided to weigh it and thought that 0.18g in one go was a bit too much 🤣The past week, I've been burning a small piece of 'India wood' from Fushigi, really good stuff. I wasn't impressed by most of the wood I'd tried but this is enjoyable. I need to revisit the other woods, haven't burned them in a while.
