Back from a great buying trip y’all, and uncovered some great wood. despite the riots in Bangkok at the same time we were there, we managed to represent the team as usual.

First off, there is a top-notch Malay wood from the Thai border on the peninsula. Lots of black in this wood, beautiful pieces with a typical Malay style– some hard long grainy pieces, and some other caps of various sizes. It’s scent is classic Malay. Great for fumigation of clothes, long lasting sweetness with hints of molasses and peach tobacco. It’s affordable as well. Price to come.

On to the Burmese. Whoo-haa! Quite possibly one of the highest quality woods we have offered so far during Oudimentary’s illustrious history. From the Burmese-Thai border, this wood is only available in for a limited timeThink fruity (apricot), bubbly, with hints of spice and caramel.
