You're most welcome. I believe you've confused the steps involved in the grinding process somehow, as there is no further drying after the wood is ground up. Once ground, it either goes into the soaking pots, if there is to be a soak; or into the boilers, if it is to be cooked unsoaked. If you can reference the video you saw, I will be able to clarify further.

Thanks Ensar for the Clarification. the video I was thinking of was called The Soak, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_F3ljVaTk0
Behind you lays in different compartments what looked to me line fine ground up Agarawood. I thought it was being aired to dry.

Ah, yes! That is not pre- but rather post-distillation drying. The wood has already been distilled into oil, and is now being dried to be sold to the agarwood incense industry. I'm sure most of you are aware, when an incense lists 'agarwood' as an ingredient more often than not it is post-distillation dust that is recycled and used one more time as incense.... There are some aromatic molecules that you simply cannot extract via distillation, no matter how hard you try.
The only infection we can age is the one inflicted by the farmer, which in this case was three years prior to harvest. It is important to note that this tree was not harvested because the infection was three years old, but rather because the tree was moribund and about to die. If you watch the video pertaining to that particular harvest, you will see a comparison between a hardy tree that has managed to cure itself, and this tree. Each tree is different in its constitutional makeup and vigor, and will be able to react differently to different traumas or diseases. Once a tree dies, however, all the resin turns to decay and no oil can be extracted from it.
We had two batches of Sarawak Experiment, one soaked, the other unsoaked. The soaked batch was soaked in plastic.

Assam sur fleur
I used it on my wrist. My first impression
was to feel the smell of pure honey and flowers. Honey is well pronounced.
Of course the presence of a sophisticated wood smell and its presence is
amazing. The smell starts alive and well after it becomes even better,just a
bit more dry. After some time the smell remained there. I thought that it
was not "hindi"! The smell of Hay is almost imperceptible. The floral smell
seems to shine time to time. I managed to find the vetiver. The smell of
wood is unlike anything I have ever experienced from ouds. Spent one hour
and the smell is the same! Definitely this is an OUD to buy in 6 ml

Jungle Kinam(new formula)
The first impression he is humid, smell of bark,
sure papua, there is an herb bittersweet too. It is softer and less stinging
than the predecessor. So is more delicate. Always present the sharp smell of
green leaves! Ma sha Allah! A faint sweet smell smooths it all. Perhaps the
