Are holes in the wood like this corrensponding to drilling process of plantation oud or its corresponding to ants or other insects or the resin formation process?

Those look like ants to me from what I can see.

This seems like natural antbore agarwood to me. Not drilled. Well could be the natural antbore section of a cultivated also.

Even cultivated agarwood can have natural sections

Horseshoe vietnamese agarwood 10,8g,
I think the name just refers to shape.
It doesnt booze up too much resin on subitism, on lower temperatures sweet floral aroma, on 420 celsius it started to be very camphoreous, i feel like i breathed fresh cold mountain air, my eyes are very minty from it.

This is a wound cover agarwood. Usually formed on stumps / cut branch stumps.

In Chinese we separate them into BanTou (板頭) (Board head), then older ones with higher resin content is TeiTao (Iron Heads 鐵頭）

The picture with my hand is old hong Kong wound cover pieces. Sinensis

So the resin is produced all across the tree, even the roots? Are they scent differences, when it was “buried” underground.

 

[TheAgarwoodShop]

Yes. That’s a funky part of Agarwood and Kynam. different areas will present very different aroma

From the outside it smells fruity-sweet, i like the smell inside of the hole, dry old woody aroma. 100g
Started to gather materials for incense production

I love the pieces from visual standpoint,
agarwood is work of art of nature.
135g

 

[Bonjt]

This one reminds me a part from elephant. 280g

Small dense black nugget 15g,
Had high hopes for this one, but its bouya.

This one have still the pieces of dried soil inside of agarwood. I tasted on tongue and have nice earthy herbal aroma. Wouldnt be this type of “agarwood” soil ideal for mitti attar?
Aroma of the soil reminds me a lot of Kedah soilwood oil from Maunamoku.
Around 60g, probably less how i scrap the soil out of inside

Some lowgrade vietnamese figure.
Around 600g
