Making of Sandalwood powder

Sandalwood grinding is a demanding task because of its adamantine hardness. to produce 150minron size powder for an incense stick making purpose, I used a diamond-coated wood file to grind.

after the initial grinding with a wood file, I sieved the powder with 100mesh to achieve consistent particle sizes.

the sandalwood I've used in this video is from Mysore, India.
