Common Fakes 2: Drawn Lines, Dyeing, Wood-as-Resin

Three tricks

Drawn lines: dark "oil lines" painted on; dyeing: overall coloring for a deeper look; wood-as-resin: selling near-oil-free agarwood wood at resin prices.

How to spot

Drawn lines are hard-edged and may wipe off; dye looks unnatural and smells of nothing; wood-as-resin is light and faint. Look and smell more, always verify. ID science.
