Palo Santo Stand in white scrubbed gamal wood
The Palo Santo Stand - White Scrubbed Gamal Wood is a hand-finished holder built specifically to cradle palo santo sticks during a smoke ritual. The whitewashed surface settles easily into natural interiors, while the original grain of the wood shows through the scrubbed finish, giving every piece its own character. A shallow channel along the top guides the stick into a stable position and collects the ash that falls during the burn.
How it works in your home
Place the stand wherever you hold short smoke rituals: a coffee table in the living room, a meditation corner, the entryway, or your desk. The 22 cm length comfortably accommodates a standard palo santo stick of around 10 cm, and the 9.5 cm height gives the piece visible presence without crowding the surface. The holder rests evenly on four contact points, so it will not rock on flat tables.
Using the stand
Light the tip of the palo santo stick with an open flame, let it burn for 20-30 seconds, then blow it out. The smouldering stick releases its resinous smoke slowly. Lay the stick horizontally in the recess with the glowing end facing inward, so that ash falls into the channel. Never leave a smouldering stick unattended and keep curtains, paper, and children's reach away from the glow.
Care
Sweep accumulated ash regularly with a soft brush or dry cloth. If the channel darkens over time, a pass with fine sandpaper and a light refresh with a neutral wood oil will restore the look. Do not wash with water and do not soak the piece.
