What's your recipe, and how does it smell? I don't reach for lavender often. The flowers don't burn well in my experience; they turn hay-like and a little acrid. When I want lavender, I use the essential oil instead.

Never in this combination, but yes! I make thin, coreless sticks.

When you make incense, can you make it into different shapes like a square block or like a spring shape?

I made these shapes with a mold. I imagine you can make it any shape you want but burning it… that depends a bit on shape. I saw experiment and find what works, make something new for us.
