Mango Wood Incense Tower – Scrubbed Finish
The scrubbed-finish mango wood incense tower is designed for lovers of clean, understated aesthetics. The surface has a silky feel, free from varnish or synthetic resin, allowing the wood's natural texture and pattern to take centre stage. A classic piece from the artisans of India's Saharanpur region: the tower shape provides a carefully considered balance for the stick, while falling ash collects around the base. Each piece is hand-sanded, making the grain pattern unique from piece to piece.
Technical Data

How to Use
Place on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Insert the end of the incense stick into the hole at the top of the tower, light it, then blow out the flame after 10 seconds. Ash will fall around the base. Once cool, remove ash residue.
Why Choose This?
The scrubbed mango wood tower is ideal for those who want a natural, living-material feel in their objects. The varnish-free surface brings you closer to the wood, both tactilely and visually, while remaining durable and functional. It fits particularly well in minimalist, wabi-sabi or organic-style homes.
Tips
- Occasionally treat the wood surface with natural oil (e.g. coconut or linseed oil) to prevent it from drying out.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture – do not place near a sink for extended periods.
- If the sanded surface gets a mark, it can be gently buffed with fine sandpaper.
