connor bragg - because kneading by hand helps you to feel the texture of the mix and know when to stop adding liquid (if the mix is too wet or too dry, or whether its holding together or separating). Besides, the total amount of the dough is approx 1 cup (enough to make 28-30 sticks), and half of it would be left sticking to the dough hook. Thanks for watching! 💚

Love the video but I’m confused… if you are using and grinding your own lavender and using makko powder( not exactly sure what that is or what is it derived from) why would you have to then add lavender oil.. is your own friend up lavender simply not enough to produce a lavender scent on its own.. and next question would be , if you always have to add an oil for scent, why would you need fresh lavender? Could you just add the copal resin, the makko powder, and lavender oil ( or any fragrant oil) Also, I really like the wax paper technique you did.. seems a shame to have these beautiful natural incense sticks and then use plastic straws.. just doesn’t seem right. Could you use a metal straw instead? Would that release the same way? Thanks so much for the posting this.. I would love to hear your take on the questions.. I have been wanting to make my own incense for so long and this is giving me the confidence to try it out. :)

Wetdewlap - 1) I’m using essential oil, not fragrance oil (has chemicals) and it takes approximately 3 pounds of lavender flowers to produce 15ml of essential oil - so to get the scent strength I desire, I would have to use too much lavender powder. 2) makko powder is a tree bark and it is used as a binder & to help with the burn 3) I use lavender herb bc it adds a depth / layer to the fragrance that essential oil cannot, plus I love herbs - also, for integrity (“natural lavender incense” without lavender herb?) 4) Yes, metal straw should work. 1 plastic straw, tho? Most of us do our best to stay on the natural side, but cannot avoid plastics entirely. 5) Good luck with your incense making. Thanks for watching!💚

If you have ingredients left over, try a smaller batch - add the liquid in VERY small amounts - stop adding liquids if it seems to be going wrong - then knead it well.

If yes, you could start with a big clump of the dough and roll it on a flat surface or between your hands until it reaches the length & thickness you desire, then insert 2 splits - try to keep it straight down the center so it won’t topple over while burning (note: one split will not be sturdy enough to support the weight of the dough/paste). Then roll the incense in the dry mix and improve the shape. This size will take a longer time to dry properly. Thanks for watching! 💚
