Happy New Year! What do you want to make this year?

IncenseApprentice

Happy new year incense friends! Do you have any incense-related resolutions this year? Any experiments you plan to try? Here are mine:

1) Cludge together some crazy ingredients to make a Picture of Dorian Gray-themed nerikoh
2) Play with my new joss stick extruder (coming in the mail) with a weeping cypress, rosemary, and sandarac combo
3) Attempt nerikoh made out of entirely "new world/ Turtle Island" ingredients (palo santo, copal, sage, sweetgrass, etc)

Happy new year!

Play with my new joss stick extruder

Which one did you order?

I think for me:

I need to be brave and actually make some sticks containing some kind of absolute or one of the percolates I've made
I'd also like to do something with a decent agarwood, but that may be a while!
I would like to extrude some sticks to send to /r/incenseexchange
I need to finally figure out some branding as well

Nathan I got this one from AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256809978699707.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.5.60b11802XIHXu3&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa

I saw it at work in some of Monarch Incense's reels on Instagram and figured I'd give it a whirl. It's the cheapest multi-stick machine out there that I could find.
