Set fire nails to the agarwood tree
When you buy agarwood online, the merchant will introduce, what ant sinking, water sinking, loess sinking and so on! Also tell you that these tastes are not the same, so how many ways of incense there are, we will list them today!
To understand the way of incense, we must first understand the principle of incense, agarwood will not be incense without being damaged, only the agarwood tree is traumatized by various external causes, and the agarwood tree secretes resin to repair the wound in order to prevent external water and bacteria invasion! So if you want the agarwood tree to incense, you have to let it hurt! Then there are many conditions for injuring the agarwood tree, that is, there are many ways for the agarwood to make incense!
First of all, we must distinguish between two major categories: natural incense and artificial intervention.
Natural incense is divided into insects and ants nibbling on the incense commonly known as wormholes, worm leaks, worm nests; external damage such as lightning strikes, wind and rain, animal bites and climbing, etc.!
Artificial intervention in incense is to imitate the behavior of nature, corresponding to the front is to breed ants and cattle in the agarwood forest, artificial cutting, cutting branches, pruning, fire brazing holes, etc.!
There are many types of worm leaks, there are a variety of different bugs, the most common are ants and tianniu larvae, some are single nest type, there are ant road type, there are cavity type, they all have a common feature is that they all have entrance holes!
Big worm nest
Small worm nests
Large cavity worm nests, which are usually the work of the larvae of the Celestial Bull
Channel-type insect leakage, in the trunk of the root intricate, different forms, the difficulty of taking incense is particularly large, to manually cut out a knife
The cross-section of the passage, the dark color around it contains the resin secreted by agarwood
There are many ways to artificially intervene in the formation of incense, in addition to the introduction of insects, there are many types of incense, and the agarwood produced is also in different forms.
Trim the shape of the small branches of the cross-sectional incense,
Medium branch section incense, vertical super on the saw mouth is generally funnel type, knife slash slash is generally ear type!
The large branches are cross-sectional, and the diameter of the incense block is equal to the diameter of the branch, and the longer the year, the thicker the color, the darker
Agarwood shell material, generally is the artificial knife cutting the trunk of the knife left by the knife knot incense, a few years later can be taken incense, and when the incense is taken, it leaves a larger trauma
The above incense methods are rarely thick, and it is more difficult to make a large bead. The incense sticker is to beat the light red steel braze into the trunk, form an array, and fill each other with the holes, this way of incense is to be able to produce large pieces of material and make beads!
Put an entire row of fire nails on the agarwood tree
The fire nail hole, you can see that the whole piece of material is relatively large, extending farther, the time between the two nail holes can be full of incense
Small nail eyes, the same incense can also extend far, so that you can make a decent brand
Written in the end is artificial chemical incense, also known as the whole tree incense, is to implant special bacteria in the trunk by playing a hanging bottle, so that the agarwood tree feels that its whole body is a bacterium, and begins to secrete resin madly to achieve the whole tree is fragrant, you see holding a large trunk in a certain hand to take an axe to pretend to scrape the thick wood is the product of chemical incense! Cheap price and strange aroma! In short, whether it is pure natural incense or artificial intervention incense, incense time is long enough, cleaning up labor costs are huge, so it will not be too cheap, too cheap either hang sheep's head to sell dog meat, or is chemical incense, play without leaks, do not blindly confident!
Experience it for yourself!
