<p>Oi. Grayson.</p> <p>I want those eggs, too. :/</p> <p>LOL Now, if my own roots can *finally* make it here, so I can start brewing my own... I steeped red sandalwood in oil, and it doesn't change the color one bit. It gave it a nice scent, though, so I'll use it for my own High John oil. I've added Dragon's Blood to it, too. Where are those roots? *pouts at snail mail*</p>

<p>Well, you were right Strata, the dragons blood did make my oil change colour. Using a pestle and mortar I ground up some resin then added some oil, to make a paste, this helped the colour spread into the main bottle of oil. It worked a treat!</p> <p>Here it is, sitting next to my box containing my little gang of High John roots!…</p> <p></p>
