* When your burner starts looking a little dusty, dump your ash in the trash (or in a houseplant!)

* Wipe the inside of the burner clean with a lightly damp cloth. If the cloth is too wet, it could leave your burner feeling rough as moisture raises the grain of the wood.

* When your incense burner starts to look dry or loses its luster, re-seal with a natural, wood-safe oil or wax of your choice (we like tung oil).

* Let your burner dry completely before using again!

* Never leave incense burning unattended! *
