I've been doing this for a few years now. I use beams 2-3 foot long to make centerpiece candle holders. This is my process. - With the beam upright, I burn following the grain pattern slowly so it stands out when finished. Then I use a clean scrub brush to clean off the surface. When staining, I use either a brush or cloth to apply the stain. Let it sit a few minutes then wipe off the excess stain. I started with polyurethane, but changed to using shellac because it makes the burn and stain really stand out better than the polyurethane. I use the spray shellac because I can spray on multiple coats without sanding between coats. Spray on each coat before it dries. For the final coat I lightly sand with 220 grit and spray on the final coat. If there's any flaws, cracks, knots, I accent instead of taking them out. Thank you for the video. Complete instructions and good information. This is going in my woodworking playlist. I don't use any new wood. All reclaimed, salvage, and sawmill scrap. I integrate old metal, iron and copper into it. I also repurpose things and do power carving. I subscribed.

Great job. Best explanation I've seen for this. No unnecessary bla bla bla. I really like the slight burn technique. Building a small privacy wall in the spring. I think I'll try this.
Great video man like thumbs up brother. I am a carpenter myself I do housing framing so I have all the tools and I play in a band and needed to build a pedal board for my effect pedals. I made a one with the whole nine yards sanded,stained ,lacquered ect it came out great. Everyone loves it and I slowly started getting asked to make a few for some side money , I never thought to burn the wood that texture is amazing and the colors really come to life. Thank you for sharing your knowledge I’m going to try it out maybe next weekend that look’s super professional looking. I never get like finish or furniture experience at work like this just rough building framing so this was really helpful. Have a great day man thanks again appreciate it very much
@@UpNorthHandyman If I want to burn a picnic tabletop, could I use a lighter and aerosol can to make a flamethrower to hit such a large area for a light burn or would that be a "Here, hold my beer" move? 😬
@@Mezzernaut1 Lol, I would go pick up a propane torch with a larger weed burning attachment that has a larger opening on the end. You can cover a large area quickly.
Thanks for laying things out so clearly. I want to attempt a guitar body like this soon, so I think the second technique might be best - I just need to worry about along the glue lines really.
@@UpNorthHandyman what if he were to just clamp and burn FIRST before gluing/cutting/ routing? Im honestly loving this idea that i may one day give it a shot. Your explanation of Contrast is so on-point that a guitar made this way could potentially look phenomenal!
This is a really well-done video. I don't just mean from the content which is also excellent, but the cuts, the speed, the voice over, and the 🔥 music put this DIY style video into top tier. Cheers mate.
That's exactly what I thought of doing I'm a painting contractor and always have extra paint oils and latex just put some extra tints to get the vibrant colors going to do my first one
Regarding the soot issue, that is exactly why I wear coveralls unless it is hot outside. One thing that you didn't mention was how sho shugi ban waterproof's wood
I've found that if you are going to brush or nylon brush, you can actually (at least with pine) purposely over char the wood until it creates those blisters and the soft wood will come out ever more making a more defined grain pattern. And while the wire brush does take more work, I've found it's really easy with the wheel to unevenly remove the burn which leaves uneven white spots. And using one of those thick square brushes with a handle on back used for scrubbing grills makes it easier to apply pressure and to remove more char at once than the ones with long handles like you used.
Yes I found the same, more burn = more texture. I know what you mean with the uneven spots, though more tiresome by hand more even brush work. Thanks for the tip with the grill brush, didn't think of that!
I did this to create a shiplap Driftwood beach style wall with 1x6 pine tongue n groove boards. I Charred the board’s heavy to get more re depth in the wood after I stripped the char with a 2” wide nylon wheel.( do it outside) with a good mask n goggles ( really sooty).. After whipping it ( twice) to get the soft wood lighter. I brushed on a custom mixed latex paint ( pickling the wood). Then with a wet rag started wiping off the paint- rinsing the rag n ringing it out n whipping it lightly in various area’s to get the grain color’s to pop like weathered wood on a beachfront home. Turned out amazing. A ton of work, but worth it definitely. As long as you keep it fun and when you see the results as you do it - then it’s all fun….
Love the technique. I love the burning, it will most likely be my signature style. I never knew these techniques so thank you! Love the look of the burnt with the orange stain. Idk about the others though lol
I have done both ways and prefer the deeper burn because of the texture it gives the wood , almost like sun aged wood or weathered .I do love the colors u are using , they seem translucent ? May i ask what brand you use ?
I used Minwax tintable stain from my local home store. You could also check on Amazon for Keda liquid dye. The reviews seem to be good and colors are vibrant
@@UpNorthHandyman That Is Just A Fire - so cool! 8) Thank you for the video. I know you advise trying Minwax tintable stain or Keda liquid dye, but is there anything similar in the UK by any chance? Please advise.
I'd recommend burning with the grain rather than against, just my preference. If you get too dark in spots, nothing a little sanding won't fix. And just wanted to add, if you use a wire wheel brush and go with the grain, you can create a 2d/3d effect. Thought my idea was kinda cool. Try it out
I love using dye stains with scho schugi bon. I usually use the dye with water but dye stain with alcohol works well also. I'll do three or four coats. I will help it dry with a blow dryer. When I'm ready I spray clear lacquer and dry it quickly with a hair dryer, quick hair drying allows it to tack much faster. I spray my piece and quickly tack it with cool air for about 1 minute and then immediately switch to hot air for about 5 minutes. Many times I would use waterproof wood sealer before I spray lacquer and again I would use a blow dryer with both cool and hot air. I found that if you want to add hewes of yellow tone to your torched wood tortch a little more than necessary (not black) and then sand any carbon off your peace. I used 220 Grit. When you add your green color the yellow hewes will become prominent all by themselves.
Nice! Thanks for the comment. I have another video coming up explaining more on using dyes. I am finding that water with the liquid dye is giving more vibrant colors than thinner or alcohol.
@@bnoyz3 I wipe the loose soot off with a dry rag before putting any stain on to avoid the loose soot from blending in with the stain and mudding it up. You could also use compressed air which would clean it up even better.
You can make any color wood stain you want by using Artists Oil paint mixed with mineral spirits. Been doing it since the 70's. And using a rag is better than foam brushes.
I love this look! I am starting wood projects and I didn’t know how to do this technique ( it’s like the only one I like) out here. My question is: I don’t have a shop and I don’t want to use such a large torch since I’m totally a beginner ; what entry small manageable torch should I look for? Ty luv your channel . ✅✅✅

I love the result, very open-pore like. I found this video while looking for a different thing (which I haven't found yet). Do you think it's possible to do tis technice, but stain with kameleon dies? Most of videos I found always put epoxy or primer on the wood, but I want this grainy texture. But I know nothing about wood. Or dies.
You tube suggested this and i couldn't be happier. What a great video. Very informative. I absolutely subscribed as soon as it was done. Thank you. Can I ask what stains did you use, the colors really pop. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome video i have a few questions if I may. I just installed T1 11 plywood inside my shop on interior walls . Have you ever stained t1 11 with light burn curious of outcome. Im thinking this light burn might burn all loose particles as T1 11 is kinda rough to the touch.
@lilred5863 the amount that the wood soaks will depend on how rough the surface is. However if you're using color it will only mostly only show on part of the grain that is not burned.
This is awesome!!! Have you ever tried it on something like basswood since it doesn’t have much grain visibility? Would it help pull out more grain from it?
@@UpNorthHandyman thank you for the reply. I’m considering doing this to my Ibanez RG570 which is currently jewel blue, but I love natural wood. I’m not sure if I should use a brush on stripper, or a heat gun. I’m still researching. Do you have any ideas? Thank you for your experience.
@@UpNorthHandyman also, I found a video showing various basswood staining techniques, and when he prepped with shellac and white spirits, it brought out the grain texture when he stained it! If I do that first, and then Shou Sugi Ban, perhaps it will work well. I will test on another piece first of course.
I'm not trying to sound lame or like a hippie, but it's where the world went wrong. Long ago girls stopped being nice to each other cuz and we as one humanity has so much to say but the studder or come to a loss of words when it comes to being nice to each other. Now I may have been flirting with you but I'm all over any social platform with my words of kindness and not flirting but trying to build people up. cuz that's how the social Networks should be used... it's a tool, you get 2 choose how to use it. I choose 2 be positive and 2 try to bring a positive reinforcement to all of this. plus, it was really nice of you to make this video and show people how to do it. Thank you
I found that in the burn process, the edges and knots would burn longer, making them not so consistent. So I keep a spray bottle of water handy when burning, to stop the edges and knots from burning. As a side note, would really love to know what stains you are using! I have used unicorn spit mostly.
I have use this technique successfully and been very happy with it, but I do have a question for you. What color stains are you using, what brands, and where did you get them? I don’t see these in my local big box retailer.
1 used Minwax tintable stain from my local home store. You could also check on Amazon for Keda liquid dye. The reviews seem to be good and colors are vibrant
I want to try this on my beehive boxes (supers) What would you suggest to protect the wood in against the elements? Great video! Can you share what stain type and manufacturer. I really want that vibrant finish.
Can you use this idea on carvings ? The flame looks like it goes on much like a spray in which case you would have to overlap many areas.Would that create inconsistent burn patterns ?
What kind of torch head is that? Got one that makes a super narrow flame and takes forever ! I want one that's more spread out like this one you used was.. trying to burn several 2x4x16' lumber pieces
I would try this for bigger boards. Koackl Powerful Propane Torch Head with Igniter, Campfire Starter, Charcoal Lighter, Welding Torch Head by MAPP, MAP/PRO, for Searing Steak, Soldering, Brazing, Stripping Paint(Tank Not Included) a.co/d/4dkinIn

If I do that first, and then Shou Sugi Ban, perhaps it will work well. I will test on another piece first of course.
I've never stained a guitar, but I've been wanting to do mine for a long time now. How about sanding the finish off?
Yes do test pieces, I always do multiple test boards
Would there be any difference if there are a number of days between charring the wood and brushing it, versus charring and brushing immediately?
I have always charred and brushed right after. I am not sure if there would be a difference.
Hi will it work on mahogany wood will it have a nice burnt pattern I'm looking at doing this to a guitar body but it's mahogany ???
Great question, haven't tried mahogany. Would be curious to see.
Question!❤ is this a practice that would hold up for DIY'ING your pine flooring?
I would think that as long as you put the recommended amount of polyurethane on after burning or staining you should be good!
This look awesome what brand name dye did you use where can i buy some ? 😊

That is so awesome
Thanks!
Soooo you have a really nice piece of wood. 😊 you are about worth watching over and over but it's not cuz of your wood... your super gorgeous. Js
Thank you for your kind words!
I'm not trying to sound lame or like a hippie, but it's where the world went wrong. Long ago girls stopped being nice to each other cuz and we as one humanity has so much to say but the studder or come to a loss of words when it comes to being nice to each other. Now I may have been flirting with you but I'm all over any social platform with my words of kindness and not flirting but trying to build people up. cuz that's how the social Networks should be used... it's a tool, you get 2 choose how to use it. I choose 2 be positive and 2 try to bring a positive reinforcement to all of this. plus, it was really nice of you to make this video and show people how to do it. Thank you
Beautiful!
Thank you!
I found that in the burn process, the edges and knots would burn longer, making them not so consistent. So I keep a spray bottle of water handy when burning, to stop the edges and knots from burning. As a side note, would really love to know what stains you are using! I have used unicorn spit mostly.
Thanks for sharing! Keda liquid alcohol dye, I have a video coming soon on the dyes.
@@UpNorthHandyman Looking forward to the vid. Subscribed!

I have use this technique successfully and been very happy with it, but I do have a question for you. What color stains are you using, what brands, and where did you get them? I don’t see these in my local big box retailer.
I would recommend Keda Dye and you can get off of Amazon. They have very vibrant colors.

Should you sand after doing the burn or apply the stain then do the typical post staon sanding process?
It's really up to you. If you sand after the burn, you will remove the charing. For a light burn I will sand, lightly burn, stain, the poly.
I want to try this on my beehive boxes (supers) What would you suggest to protect the wood in against the elements? Great video! Can you share what stain type and manufacturer. I really want that vibrant finish.

Can you use this idea on carvings ? The flame looks like it goes on much like a spray in which case you would have to overlap many areas.Would that create inconsistent burn patterns ?
Yes you have to be careful when applying, same concept as when you are spraying. The slower and closer you are, the more the burn
This man is damn smart, good video.
Thank you and glad you enjoyed
What was the name of the green minwax dye that you used. I ended up doing a custom color mix for a red, but love the green you used.
You could use Keda dye, the colors are
vibrant.

You left out the most important part...what type of stain is it?
Im curious about what type of stain you used also?
Keda alcohol dye
Sho shugi ban can treat outside wood to be more weather resistant. Even below ground contact! Burn those posts to make them last.
Burn to char and install.
Cant you finish it with resin on top
Haven't tried that yet, but I am sure you could definitely use epoxy resin that would look amazing i think
this used to be the thing in the 60's spanish style furniture australia
I love those wood stains, what is th me brand and where do you get it from?
