Its July and that time of year to introduce the 2024 WoodScents model. I wanted to do this year’s model to reflect the logs that inspired me over 15 years ago, The MyrtleZap, the Woodeez, & the Purple-Days. These devices were built differently back then but function was the same. They were all round and cylindrical quite a bit beefier also. I was always intrigued by the different species, how they worked, how they were put together. There have been a few changes since then, but the beauty of the wood has remained. So, here's this year’s model a sleek straight up and down body with a little detail to separate it itself, hope you all like what I have done.

Thuya Burl is by far some of the finest burl I have ever worked in my life! Thuya wood (pronounced twee-ya) is from the Thuya tree in Morocco. This biblical tree is from the cedar family and is exclusively native to Morocco. This highly praised conifer grows only in the forests of the Atlas Mountains east of Essaouira, the beautiful coastal town famous for its ancient and contemporary history, museums, art galleries, world music festival, and above all for its Thuya wood craftsmanship. Thuya wood was highly praised by Romans and Greeks, and its oils were used in religious rituals and ceremonies. Thuya trees reach maturity over many decades. Still the praised part of this tree is not the trunk, but the burl buried in the ground. The burl has a deeper color, a more concentrated aroma, and a fascinating grain.

Today these burls are very scarce and hard to locate, extract, and transport. High demand over the centuries has greatly reduced the Thuya forests and looking for underground burls is something like sifting through sand for grains of gold. Moreover, most of these burls are very small, therefore the fact that most of the items made from this luxurious wood are of a small nature. Another hindrance is that burls generally have large splits and defects that need to be cut out. When luck strikes, and a large solid burl is found, it is bid on by artisans, and is sold to the highest bidder. Burls are moved from mountainous areas on mules and donkeys as they are the only form of transportation suited to the task. All that having been said, the real value of the Thuya handcrafted goods is in the highly skilled artists who intricately design Thuya burls into breath taking masterpieces. It is a lot of fun for me to turn, finishing it is the best part. Seeing it in all its glory sleek and stunning makes all the extra work all worth it!

There have been a couple of slight changes here and there. Replaced the air path filter disc with a form fit titanium mesh screen and replaced the WS tip with a titanium mesh screen. Another upgrade will be a digital variable voltage power supply replacing the analog controller.

The WoodScents air path floats so to speak seated on top of a high temperature oring. Using medical-grade Titanium and our patented installation allows for the least amount of heat retention and metal to wood heat transfer will ensure the longevity of the unit. WoodScents is fully patented. Rest assured that your WoodScents will last!

Be advised, as with all my work its natural as Mother Nature intended. Every piece is hand made in the USA here in my home state of Mississippi! There may be voids, worm holes, live edges, and raw features. Each piece is unique and no two are the same. The piece you receive most likely will not be the same as what is pictured but will be a beautifully unique handcrafted unit.
