How to buy sandalwood
Here is Veerappan explaining how to buy sandalwood... ! Sandalwood has unique natural properties and widely used for skin/acne care ...So, I was searching for Sandalwood billet to buy. And here goes how I got it.Every state in India has its own rules on how much sandalwood individual can possess/have. Sandalwood is classified as scheduled timber (I don't have any idea what they mean by calling scheduled timber). Sandalwood was smuggled and so, its movement, cultivation, sale - everything is monitored by government as per the state rules.
Legal purchase can be made from state / government owned handicrafts store Like Poombukar (Tamilnadu Handicrafts), Lepakshi, Khadi Gramodyog, etc., Buying from government is good since they sell original sandalwood. The current price of sandalwood is Rs.12000 to Rs.13000 INR per kg + tax. Sandalwood is sold as small chips / billet. Less expensive sandalwood is also available and its not advised to buy these, since after extracting Sandalwood oil they sell dead wood (No therapeutic uses) with some fragrance.
You can also buy figures carved out of sandalwood, this can be used for decoration / showcase. For using sandalwood you need to buy only chips/ billet of the wood.
If you have any questions, let me know...
