I saw a coffee shop once with custom furniture, wall paneling and "arty pieces" made from juniper (white outer wood and red heartwood).
A park that I used to hike in cut down many junipers one year, perhaps they were diseased. I brought in my bow saw and backpacked out some small logs. I used the white wood as tinder & kindling, but saved the aromatic heart wood to use as incense, or "incense shingles".
I would split a thin rectangle an inch or two on a side, then set that on top of charcoal, with a bit of resinous incense like copal or frankincense on top. The wood would heat up and start to char on the bottom as the incense boiled ... then around the time most of the juniper and resin essence were gone, it would flash into flame for a few seconds and be gone.
It might have smelled even better with true cedar.
