Palo santo stand in teak — with a Yin and Yang motif
The Yin and Yang symbol points to the dynamic balance of opposites — light and shadow, movement and rest, giving and receiving. This 15 cm teak palo santo stand brings that image into a practical, everyday tool. A shallow recess cradles the smouldering stick, while the carved motif runs along the body at a comfortable height of 10 cm.
How to use it
Light one end of the palo santo stick, let it burn for about a minute, then blow it out. Place the glowing end in the recess and let the smoke drift into the room. Typical sessions last 30–90 seconds before the ember fades on its own. Never leave a smouldering stick unattended, keep children, pets and flammable items at a safe distance, and ventilate gently so the room stays comfortable.
Teak as a material
Teak carries natural oils that resist moisture and handle gentle heat well, so the stand wears in rather than wearing out. At roughly 200 g it stays firmly in place, and the 15×7 cm footprint fits onto most shelves and side tables. Brush off cooled ash with a soft brush, wipe occasionally with a slightly damp cloth, and refresh once a year with a drop of furniture oil to keep the warm tone.
