My (limited) experience with cutting hindi wood like that is just to chop off 0.3-0.5g bits with a sharp kitchen knife, some pieces might break off into smaller pieces you can use as well, but IME Hindi wood is best put on coal or sub with 0.3-0.5g bits and with the sub on mid temp and the small pieces on low temp. I am not sure how subs work just guessing based on e-heater knowledge.

I've seen a lot of people online use cutting pliers, like those shown here, but this will cut with the grain and not against, though I suppose it could but just not cleanly

Ahh, I mean those actual tool grade chisels used for DIY. They are ship at the top and you just place it inbetween a piece of hard wood and do it on a book or just a table and get a piece of thin cardboard and fold t so that the piece breaks but doesnt shoot off in a random direction and make sure you are covering the wood as well as you can. Japanese use chisels al the time.

Although I would go with what @Ahmaoud said, I would go with the cutting pliers or the split joint pliers. But chisels, are better for cleaner cuts, just takes a little getting used to and to do it the way the Japanese cutters do it, is a real skill, something I have yet to gain.

Amazing, is this Sinensis wood?

 

[yumchen78]

It is real old agarwood. It may have been Malay agarwood at that time.
