Wow man good job! You know I was thinking the other day, I wish I had someone that could just extrude the dough for me. I don't mind making the dough, but the extruding and drying process takes too much time that I don't have.
They must be smelling amazing

Grinding up some herbs and powders to make a mix for for the incense trail / seal burner I got from Kangiiten. This mix has tabu-no-ki, sandalwood, aloeswood, patchouli leaf and borneo camphor, all old stock from Yamada Matsu.
Smelling this as it smoulders, I am reminded that incense making is a skill that takes time to master, and that i burn stuff I buy more than stuff I make for good reasons 😂

South Putuo Temple by Dr. Incense. Listed notes: Vintage Oud, Lotus Oil, Premium Agarwood, Mysore sandalwood, Borneol, etc.
Rather nice. Similar base to some of his other incenses, but the borneol gives it a nice sharpness and the lotus a light floral tinge.

Sounds devine. I love making incense trails. My extruding game is poor then one day I hit me that I don't need to turn a blend that is already great as a loose incense into a dough then extrude into sticks to enjoy it ( although that can be very satisfying). So now I stick to the same method as above and gain immense pleasure from blending scents together. I really would like one of those mortar and pestles though. 😁

It's very good for slowly grinding powders. No idea where I got it though.
another good approach that used to be popular which used to be my main way of burning trails is to press a sunken path into a bed of ash, fill with tabu or makko or sandalwood powder, tamp flat, ignite at one end, then add pinches of different herbs along the length of the track. In this way a single burn will produce different fragrances at different times. You can put a pinch of something really obvious like camphor on the last centimeter of the trail so when you smell that you know the burn is just about done.

Fantastic idea. I've been searching online for your mortar and pestle all morning and finding everything shape and size but yours! It's obviously very unique and honestly seems the most practical for what we would use it for.

Here is one made by zassenhaus that I have always thought would be a practical one:

First I saturated my room with mesOUD Pursat (oudh), then lit some Nippon Kodo Kyara Asuka (incense stick). Overload🤯

River Path - Shoyeido. My sister was in Japan a few months ago & visited the Shoyeido boutique in Ginza & gifted this incense to me upon her return. It was a thoughtful gift, as she doesn’t have any interest in incense or even perfume for that matter. She was stunned by the refinement of the boutique.
A dominant warm spice character, cinnamon & nutmeg. A very pleasant amber-vanilla & creamy sandalwood that last a long time, you can smell the residual aroma long after the burn. This isn’t for studying or listening too, it’s just a lovely way to fragrance the house which the whole family enjoys. A good one!

Rikkoku-gomi sticks by Yamadamatsu Shu-Ju range (£4.5 to £5 per stick. Around $5.9USD) £68.99 per 15 sticks.
Passively, but still intently listening to these while lying in bed with eyes shut wafting fragrance towards me every time it went off on its own so that I could smell its full beauty. I am making my way through these sticks, this is the first Rikkoku-gomi box of sticks I got by Yamadamatsu, next one is Rokaku/Rakoku, then Manaka, then Sumotara/Sumatora.
I have had these sticks for a while... like a while, and I have been finding it hard to put the fragrance into words. It is definitely an Indian aloeswood profile, and dare I say it, a true wild Assamese wood used in these sticks (which is why they are so pricey, all of this range is rather pricey, nothing but the best quality Rikkoku-gomi woods used, and the Shu-Ju range is like the stick version of Yamadamatsu's current Rikkoku-gomi set), very nice stick indeed and very multifaceted, complex, and mystery after mystery when putting a new one on... I have only finished 1 stick and that was a full stick today, for the other sticks, I usually put them out once I am "finished", in the sense that, "I could come back to this another time and work the rest out".
The stick started out with a very rich, spicy, semi-sweet, kind of bitter, (somewhat) resinous definitely Indian aloeswood type of scented notes. As the stick burns for another couple of seconds you get this, almost kinam-like note, of vanilla cream except with an almost BITTER, unclean, muskiness to it, with a dry, intriguing wood note. The more sticks burns you enter this wet jungle with (aloes)woody trees, with this semi-sweet, swampy oceanic kind of water lakes flowing, very earthy, some hints of dark, semi-sweet and bitter chocolate, wet somewhat bitter greenery (and with my imagination I could see a big tree with a leaf and the rain drop about to fall off the tree) notes, herbal spiciness and some hints of dark green herbal mint.. at the very end of the stick it gave out these very strange (considering the rest of the stick wasnt like this at all) powdery, floral notes and boom, it was gone. It said bye by giving me a nice powdery, floral, earthy sweet note, with a bit of (bitter/semi-sweet) honey.
EDIT: Just remembered, there was also some nice fruity notes here and there that were nice and enjoyable.

Seijudo Nichigetsu
This stick line of Seijudo is very interesting.
Nichigetsu is an agarwood experience, combusted, gently heated, and distilled.

Fusen Red Soil Agarwood - Prof Incense.
These sticks surprise me with different facets every time I burn one. Today, they’re quite sweet with a lovely red fruit character, a creamy / mossy / dry woody lingering aroma with the slightest hint of musk.
