The form is bead making scraps, so they’re varied.
Unfortunately, storage was poor, so only the resin survived, maybe a little oil, but still smells good, but doesn’t fill the room with buttery goodness.

ASO wallapatta oud from Ramadan burn + KZ wallapatta incense + Tan Xiang by Ensar oud. This house smells oud and sandalwood. Loving this meditative state 🙂 while wearing musk and Sri Lankan oil maceration by Rai Munir Uncle and Zaza Zen oil by EO.

some Palin wood by JK, very nice.
Last night I had a long burning session w/ charcoal (I'd only used 7 of the 10 charcoals that I bought over a year ago, so I don't do this very often) - burned loads of frankincense and oud chips. Very good, combined with a mica plates and a cooled-down charcoal some woods show very good character. Others set aflame quickly and don't smell very good.
I didn't realise how much frankincense that I own - perhaps over 200g! It's pretty ridiculous and I never use the stuff....!

How is this stuff?

Burning some Yamadamatsu sandalwood chips. Simply fantastic. Background of that anise smell in high quality sandalwood, with the smell projecting all over my house. Using my good old basic electric mabkhara, so I have to watch it close and move the chips around. These puppies get super hot in the center of the aparatus. There is no temperature setting: plug in=hotter than Hades.

I have some beautiful 6” trunk section slices (wafer thin, 1/2 circles) I bought about 17 years ago from them. They’ve been in a tightly sealed glass jar, I can seldom bring myself to dip into this wood - it is the nicest I’ve encountered. I have to start burning it though because otherwise it’s just a waste. Actually I think it was 18 or 19 years.
get on it! That's the approach I'm taking - I've spent the money already, so use what I have 🙂

Heated some sweet Trat chips
and then some Sri Lanka chips that have a
Sinharaja profile.

Please post your address so that we can steal this from you. In all seriousness, burn it. I am forcing myself to do this with my sandalwood. Life is short, and my wife is certainly not going to burn this or find someone who is a super nerd if I die prematurely. Yes, I thought this out, looking at oils and wood that sit in drawers. Use it.

Is that sandalwood from a Japanese incense company? Do they sell wood like this anymore in this kind of format?

K. Cannata - Red Cedar, then Cannata - Fiji Sandalwood. I really enjoy what Kenneth is making, glad to have him living in my neck of the woods.

Lucky strike Nah Trang
This wood thru me off at first, being unlike any other Nah Trang or even like any other Vietnamese wood I have and I have lots of different types. It has a amazing release of scent at the lowest setting on my heater, and smoke comes off at temps that don’t even warm up other woods. It’s bitter and has a sage like undertone that I’ve never smelled in VIET wood. It bubbles profusely and as I slowly turn up the heat it produces greater amounts of a bitter love drenched aroma.
Don’t buy this wood expecting traditional Nah Trang or think it will be what you have seen before, it’s not .
its a unique profile that I will keep for reference and feel fortunate to have in my collection. Thanks JK for hooking up this incredibly rare wood

What do you make of it when sold a wood said to be from a particular region that smells nothing like wood from that region!? I would guess (assuming it actually was found in the forests of the region it is said to be from, which is a big assumption) that maybe it was a different species of agarwood at the edge of its range. So maybe in a region known for sinensis and crassna, (or whatever is seen 99 times out of 100 in Vietnam) your wood came from a rare agallocha (or whatever it was) that happened to have dispersed into that region
Otherwise, what? Wood imported and sold as local? Infection by a rare type of fungus? Collected from some unusual local sub-region with some local geographic influence on scent?
