As always, these photos look great. This is oud! Cleaned at such a high standard. You are only paying for oud with this kinda wood!
Thanks;), cleaning here also varies of seller to another, some try to have it as you said "oud only" some others just goes with normal clean up for wax, extra white wood etc
@iori your pictures are proof that agarwood not only smells good,
but looks good too😍
i wanted to share a video for the pieces but i never toke one, did test earlier failed badly=/
and believe me the pieces looks way better in hands!
will try to have my brother do it, got more Pictures for Burmese i'll post later =)

This looks like the same quality from kigistan vendor yeah? Really nice. I scraped some today for the heater and it's literally like butter cutting it. I feel like this would make for an absolutely excellent incense stick with a little charcoal to keep it going. Or just given the materials consistency, possibly even to soak in some alcohol for a while and then use as base alcohol for a perfume blend. Feel like bc it's so oil rich (vs resin dense), it would leach a high percentage of it's oils in to alcohol moreso than with denser woods for sure!

I do find the scent of this stuff to be a bit one dimensional. It's really good and burns forever on the sub. Initially I was excited to burn it everyday bc if smells so nice but there's something about wild agarwood I honestly prefer to cultivated kinam.

I see what you are saying about cultivated kinam v’s agarwood. A lot of the joy and wonder we get is from the variation between each tree, or even each part of each tree. The cultivated kinam is all from a small number of clones so variations may be limited.
