Burn of the Day

[Oudamberlove]

KZ Hainan again…

Some call the shape “angles”.
I use my rotary tool to grind away the
non-resinated wood from the underside
which I find that action to be quite meditative.
Then I chisel the piece into small slivers.
Heat, and enjoy😊

Mossy...Mossy

For a man unseen
She pines in the shadow of the trees
On a mossy bed for
Her coverlet, the isles that make
Yamato a pink!

Nippon Sizuro Borneo sprinkles

The first piece had a little floral and barnyard mixed with a dark wood.

The second piece had. more floral to begin with and Nice barnyard core.At times reminded me of a Sri Lanka in certain ways.

Wonderful feel to this Wood!

Yes, “angles” or “corners” is a term used in Saudi to describe oud chips as well. Glad you’re enjoying.

I just ordered a piece of this and realized it's coming from Hong Kong.I'm in the United States.Do you think I will get a hit with a tariff charge?

I just had this conversation with Alex on Etsy from Hong Kong. If there is someone who is outside the United States that would be willing to let Alex send the package to them I would gladly pay you for the postage and the inconvenience to send it to me.Hong Kong post is not sending packages to the United States. Please PM me if you can help me out.

The US and China struck a new deal on tariffs, maybe it can be shipped directly to you soon.

The tariff agreement is only for 90 days and still leaves a 30% charge.

Thanks

"Myanmar Kyara" shavings from Fushigi

Smells like cultivated kyara from Vietnam, really doesn't seem to be much aroma to be had in these shavings. It was only $8 for a gram, so not a big expenditure nor high expectations for the price. It's only my 2nd time heating it, maybe I can coax something out of it over time, we'll see.

I just find myself often disappointed by heating wood. I have some woods where a few tiny specs of dust will fill up and saturate my entire apartment, while others have a 1/2 - 1 tsp of shavings with barely any aroma at all.

Would not the 30% still be cheaper or at least on par (and quicker) then the option you proposed?

That very well could be but even though there was a trade agreement Hong Kong post as of now is still not sending to the United Sates . Alex is holding it for me until we come up with a solution.

Cultivated Malaysian Oud Muhassan w/high grade resin - Qmat Ikhtiar Aloud

Much cheaper than wild but the smoke that comes out is like a freight train. Awesome burn.

My only concern brother is health wise, how dangerous breathing this burnt chemical fumes with time?
I know for sure even natural oud would be harmful to lungs with prolonged exposure, I can't think how worse even these chemical processed wood be.

I totally understand that point of view. I’ve been hearing about the health effects of burning Oud in general. As a former smoker I’m not too worried. We have an open kitchen. So sometimes the smell of food needs to be masked by something pleasant and we have the window open at the same time. I trust this particular vendor to choose high-grade resin and not low-grade.

Wow! How many sessions do you think you could get out of a, say, .5 g piece of something that densely soaked with resin? Help me try to justify the cost… Ha ha.

Depends on wood and how you heating it.
Using Chinese heaters and going for shaving/powder etc i would say 50 sessions at least.

Everyone on this forum is experimenting this on themselves to a certain degree so I'm hopeful that our offsprings will be thankful to us for being the test subjects and providing them the answer to your question 😀 But knowing human history, we are only getting dumber with each successive generation and are willingly making poor decisions despite plethora of knowledge that wasn't available to those before us. Sorry to get philosophical.
