Processing: Cut off the white and rotten parts of the collected trunk and roots with a sharp knife, and then dry them in the shade. Then further carving with a chisel and a carving knife with a semi-circular blade, removing white frivolous wood and rotten wood without balsam, leaving black hardwood, processing it into blocks, slices or small pieces, and drying it in the shade to obtain goods.

Artificial incense: Under normal circumstances, the stems of Aquilaria sinensis will have fragrance only after being injured. Under natural conditions, it is slow to rely on natural fragrance. People gradually explore the use of artificial incense. Artificial perfuming refers to the artificial injury, felling, moth-eaten, disease and fungal infection of the stems of Aquilaria sinensis to stimulate the living trees to secrete resin, which condenses in the wood and forms "Aquilaria sinensis" after time catalysis. The following methods are usually used to make incense:

1. cutting method: select 8- 10 years or more, and cut several knives at a distance of 1.5-2 meters from the ground, with a knife distance of 30-40 cm and a wound depth of about 3-4 cm. After a period of time, the xylem near the wound will secrete resin, and after a few years, it will gradually turn dark brown and produce agarwood. The new wound caused by taking agarwood can still smell sweet.

2. Half-broken rod method: Saw a wound on the trunk at a distance of more than 1-2 meters from the base of the trunk, and the depth is 1/3 to 1/2 of the thickness of the trunk. Several wounds with different heights were seen along the same direction. The distance between the wounds was 30-40cm and the width of the wounds was 1cm. You can make your own incense after a long time. After several years, you can take incense from the wound, and after taking incense, Xiangmen can continue to make incense until the incense reaches the head and roots of the tree.

3. Digging method: Dig several square holes with a depth of 2-3 cm and a width of 3-4 cm on the trunk 65,438+0-3 m above the ground, or round holes with a diameter of 65,438+0-3 cm and a depth of 3-6 cm, and then seal them with mud balls, so that the xylem near the holes gradually secretes resin, and after several years, agarwood can be produced.

4. Artificial inoculation method for making incense: It is better to use trees over 10 years old, and artificial inoculation can also be used for making incense for 5-6 years old. The tree is semi-broken and dried, and the wound can be large; Small trees should be drilled, and the wounds should be small. On the same side of the trunk, take the headwind direction, from top to bottom, at intervals of 40-50 cm, use tools such as saw and chisel to open a incense door in the direction perpendicular to the trunk, the depth is about 1/3 of the trunk thickness, and the mouth width is about 1-2 cm. Then the incense door is filled with fragrant plants and wrapped with plastic film to prevent pollution and moth-eaten. Aquilaria sinensis can be harvested in a few years.

5, the dead tree fragrance method: In nature, Aquilaria sinensis is often eaten by insects and ants, rotted by the wind, broken by the wind, causing rot or death. These parts are often fragrant, and there are often agarwood in the dead trunk or roots.

After stimulation, only after six months to two years of poor quality, 3-5 years of high quality, 10-20 years can we produce better agarwood. When the leaves of Aquilaria sinensis are not luxuriant, the shape is yellow and some of them die, most of them have the possibility of making incense. The longer the time, the better the quantity and quality of agarwood.
