A Field Guide to Five Aromatic Woods

Five distinct aromatic wood samples arranged as a natural material field guide

Fragrance is personal

Descriptions are a starting point, not a guarantee. Temperature, amount, airflow, storage and natural variation all affect how a wood presents.

Desert Vein Mesquite

Deep, dry and grounded, with the tactile grain of U.S.-grown honey mesquite.

Mooncurl Hawaiian Sandalwood

Soft, rounded and gently woody, cut from U.S.-grown Hawaiian sandalwood.

Embergrid Red Cedar

Crisp timber character with a dry, clean edge from U.S.-grown eastern red cedar.

Sunspoke Piñon Pine

Warm pinewood with a bright resinous lift, made from U.S.-grown piñon pine.

Frostcoin Rocky Mountain Juniper

Airy, green and subtly peppery, made from U.S.-grown Rocky Mountain juniper.

Make a fair comparison

Use the same warmer, room, amount and approximate session length when comparing woods. Store each variety sealed separately in a cool, dry place. Natural colour, shape and grain vary by batch.
