Makko Base Powder - Asia - Baieido
Brand : Baieido Japanese Incense
Makko (ground) from where the bark of the Machilus thunbergii tree is ground and added to incense mixtures as a natural binder for making incense cones and sticks. Makko is cultivated mainly in Southeast Asia: from Kyushu to China, Taiwan, and Thailand. Makko is also used instead of charcoal to burn incense ingredients and mixtures as in the Incense Trail style of incense burning. It does not affect the pure natural scents of the other ingredients. Our Makko is sourced by Baieido Japan.

Amazing as Long as it's Not the Main Base Powder
This has been an amazing wood binder but a horrible base powder. It burns really well and evenly and doesn't crack. If there's no base along with it, the incense cones won't stay lit even after drying for two weeks.
I'm really impressed when adding it in 1:1 ratios to red sandalwood and palo santo wood powder.
After that, it's just a matter of deciding how much clove to add. More clove makes it burn faster and hotter, and that's great for resins like frankincense.
Some tabu no ki powder can make a great binder and base. This isn't that batch. Because this bark is not well-known as a base, 5 stars is appropriate. -
Makko- Baieido
This makko is fantastic. High quality and fairly priced. Does not affect the smell of resin incense. A word I hear in reviews of my incense often is “pure”.
