Great show! Thanks for putting that together! I’m going to have to try it one of these days.

I don’t think I’ll get anywhere close to what you’re doing, but I would like to know how I can use that pinyon rosin I was telling you about to create a simple incense. I have just burned it raw in the chunks I pulled off the trees, but it doesn’t burn very long or well. I do so love the smell though.

Hi there! I sent you an email but it’s from my business address so check your spam folder too…
God bless you for your kind words…but I think you would do great doing this…here’s an article on doing your own “tapping”
It’s pretty accurate and I can’t really add anything except: DON’T get rid of the bits of wood when you tap…this will give your “incense” a natural boost to burning, and also a very nice “pine wood” scent, which is a completely scent from “pine resin”…

PS: Like I say in my email : just don’t get caught by the PC Pine Tree police!
