- Never leave a burning candle, incense or palo santo unattended. Keep it away from children, pets and anything that can catch fire.
- Burn on a heat-resistant holder or plate that catches ash and embers, in a room with some fresh air.
- Loose incense and resins burn on charcoal: set the charcoal on a layer of sand in a heat-resistant bowl and handle it with tongs. Charcoal and holders stay hot long after the smoke fades, so let them cool completely before touching or emptying.
- If you have asthma or are sensitive to smoke, use incense and palo santo with care, in a well-ventilated space.
- Candles: trim the wick to about 1/4 inch before each lighting. On the first burn, let a candle burn about one hour for every inch of its diameter, and never more than four hours at a time.
- Store incense, herbs and resins sealed, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight so the scent lasts.
- Stones: wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Each stone is unique in color and pattern.

Description
Palo Santo Wood Incense Holder — hand-carved palo santo
A simple, boat-shaped holder carved from palo santo. Even before you light a stick, the wood gives off a gentle, resinous aroma, and the long trough keeps the ash in place on your altar, desk or meditation space.
Design and material
Each holder is hand-carved and finished by skilled craftspeople, so no two are exactly alike and each shows its own grain and warm tones. A precisely cut groove holds your incense stick, whether palo santo, sandalwood or another favorite, and the length of the trough catches the falling ash.
In tradition
Palo santo, Spanish for holy wood, grows in South America and has been used for generations by Indigenous communities of the Andes in ceremonial practice. We share this as culture.
What it holds
- Incense sticks, in the carved groove
- Trough that catches the ash
How to use
- Set the stick firmly in the groove so its burning end hangs over the holder.
- Light the tip, let it flame for a few seconds, then blow it out so it smolders.
- Let the incense burn down fully and the holder cool before tapping out the ash.
Place on a heat-proof, stable surface away from anything that can catch fire. Never leave burning incense unattended, and keep it away from children and pets. Wood can scorch: keep the burning tip clear of the wood and empty the ash regularly.
