This miracle can't be seen with over indulgence in oils and oiling.If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.

This is a right time for Musk maceration. The summers! Atmospheric heat complements the whole process.
Nepali Musk, acquired a couple of days before. Dry grains.
Mysore Santal, Musk's best friend since the time immemorial.
Now time and season will do their work.

The gold stamp was evident, it is enough for the trained eye, at LEAST few months old those sticks, enough time for the surface to weather.And thank goodness, at least here the word 'vintage' is not present.
Respected Al Shareef Oudh, you are good at language, and know very well about the delicacies of language. When it is said the wood is fragrant, or what a fragrance the wood exudes doesn't mean the resident of the district have gathered to sniff scent bomb blast, but to show the quality. If it is not so, then all descriptions of oils and wood by all vendors are meaningless.
I think even great Al Rubaa'ee Oudh Oil won't be able to bring forth smell if even capped loosely. Of course, if something is sealed, there won't be smell in the air.
May you live long! Well said, but it shouldn't lead to the conclusion that wood is destined to be dead unless wounded badly or softly. Next, probabilities are unending.
Sorry, I couldn't understand your point.
From a distilling point of view i just look for sinking sandal because i know it will be a higher percentage oil . Smell and quality cannot be judged though.Thankfully no chlorine in my tap water.
Do you sink the wood in water only to see if it is "sinking grade" or is there another reason for it.
Lovely looking logs btw.
Roars of laughter, dearest and respected Al Shareef Oudh.must be very careful dear Rai not to create musk bomb with few grains in mysore , but now it is clear for me the open fields has excited your sense of smell. I can not forget how those cows were viewing you.
Yes, stamp is there. But the way you said, sinking wood is not necessarily more incense. In my view, stamp only testifies the wood's being genuine, and NOT AUSTRALIAN AS MYSORE.The gold stamp was evident, it is enough for the trained eye, at LEAST few months old those sticks, enough time for the surface to weather.
O my goodness!may we both live long in service of the Creator, yes there is middle ground, no santal bomb that is smelt from coffee table to the gate and no walking carver to smell the woods
Can you elaborate on your rose wax method, or give a link to your old post please?I don't know anything about tinctures. But I had some experiments after preparing a musk pod tincture as per respected Al Shareef Oudh's guidelines. Latter, I prepared Frangipani and some other flower tinctures.
This time Rose is there. Let's see! It is filtered once. Now waiting for the evaporation of ethanol. Of course, it will be filtered again and again.
COLOUR IS AWESOME. It reminded me of Rose Wax that I prepared last year, and then used in incense ball making.

This is just an experiment to learn something. Otherwise, in my simple and candid view, tincture (of anything) cannot be ten percent of that's oil.
Sir, post #555 in the same thread.Can you elaborate on your rose wax method, or give a link to your old post please?
Thank you so muchSir, post #555 in the same thread.
Next weekend, I will prepare Rose Wax to use that in making incense. I love mixing rose Wax and sandal powder or granules.

This is beautiful Mr P.New subitism style prototype! I had this block of soapstone sitting around and was appreciating its heft. I was always frustrated that my former models were lightweight and easily shifted if the cord was brushed against. This thing is very heavy and is a great heat sink as well as being hard to dislodge. It still needs sanding and finishing but is definitely something I am happy to have put together.
