This depends on what you species you are looking for. For Santalum album, it's virtually everywhere on Ebay and Etsy since the Australian S. album plantations became really productive in 2014. Vendors seem to buy wood in bulk from the plantation companies and offer it in smaller quantities. Quintis, the larger of the two Australian S. Album producers, has a retail site called The Sandalwood Shop. You can purchase 100 grams of S. album chips for 29.95 AUD. For orders over 1 kilogram, they have a contact page. I have smelled the powder of that wood; it's fragrant, good and satisfies when you heat it on low.

If Australia's more numerous native species is your thing, New Mountain Merchants, famous for their sandalwood mosquito sticks, carries bulk Santalum spicatum chips and powder at a good price. I'm not sure if you've purchased bulk before, but unless you are required to do a sandalwood barbecue every day to appease the sandalwood gods, those kilo purchases last forever and you'll find you have more than you need. The Sandalwood Shop sells spicatum in smaller quantities if you wanted to just dabble with that species. I hope this helps.

thank you very much santal claus for the detailed response,
i'm searching for any type of sandalwood chips as long as it's real, to be honest i wanna resell it, most sandalwood in my country is fake, so i wanna bring the real thing for a change even if it's of low quality.
Most etsy vendors don't ship to morocco, but this new mountain merchant looks promising, good prices and a lot of choice

Yeah, thanks to the innovation in Australia, decent S. album or "Indian" sandalwood is now readily available. I know that the members here like the smell of the chips and powder from those really old trees (who doesn't?), but the plantation wood is fairly good at this point. I've read that the plantations are able to get fragrant heartwood in their trees in as little as 15 years through trial and error and their own techniques. What I hope is that they let some of those trees continue to grow and harvest them years from now. It would be interesting to see how a 30-year old plantation tree's heartwood is.

Bear in mind that New Mountain is more of a S. spicatum bulk supplier, which has quite a different smell than "Indian" or S. album. It's good, but distinct, more woody and less creamy. I'd at least give the S. album chips a try too. Enjoy!!!
