- This video will help you with your advanced charred wood technique. My first video on Shou Sugi Ban has been really popular on this charred wood preservation technique. There were a number of different aspects of yakisugi wood burning though that I did not cover in the first video. Comments and questions came in regarding different aspects of the Yakusugi process. In this video I touch on the most popular ones. It's called advanced, but the process of burning wood is really very straightforward. You can do this!

Found the video very interesting and helpful. Congratulations on an excellent and informative presentation. A follow up question. I have some oregan pine from a roof that was recently stripped...presence of boreres. Want to use timber from the roof to make planter boxes. Please advise.
I just found your channel today! Thank you for entertaining videos on the topic. Looking forward to reading your book. Please keep up great work.
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you found the video entertaining. Your comment made my day since someone else just mentioned that I didn't focus in enough on the substance of the video or something. I guess I can't make everyone happy, but at least you enjoyed it. What topics are you most interested in? DIY? Tiny Houses? Outdoor living?
Thanks for uploading, can you tell me about the settings on the flame gun and the gas tank, I couldnt get a fire stream like yours
I like the first more,gives the light touch like it went through the paint
It's all totally subjective. I just hope that people try it out since it's fun and looks great.
@ already tried on pallet table for plants that is always wet.Any experiments with comparing burnt wood vs natural in wet conditions?
Yes, a long term test is warranted.
Good demonstration. I typically go harder on #3 and use the smaller handheld torch to help relief the knots and hard grains. Using planks with mild dry rot creates a nice texture too. Should have PPE to prevent inhaling the phenols.
All true. Using a small torch on the knots is a great idea. I'll have to give that a shot. Thanks!
I thought this video was very informative. I'm starting a vardo and will use this on the door like you do. Any new how-to vardo videos being made?
Hi Larry. Thanks for the kinds words. Where can I see your vardo project? I haven't built any in a few years now. Have you checked out my vardo build series on the channel? It's the video collection to go along with my book : amzn.to/3PPCe83
Bro,so i made a table and after month or so all the brown color disappeared so i needed to reburn it again,any idea why?
That's weird. Color disappeared? Must have been a really light burn? This is not something that should 'wash off''. Not sure what happened, but I would go for a darker burn and then liberally apply some linseed oil.
If you want the alligator pattern and avoid warping, should you simply do both do the other side and it should square back to proportion??
Yes, doing both sides definitely helps with the warping. It also further enhances the protection of the wood even on the side that no one might ever get to see.
Very helpfull video.
I want to build boxes for raised vegetable garden. Will deep burn make the wood lasting longer?
I saw previous videos where they soak the wood with old engine oil and then the wood is burned. Fo you recommend that as well or not?
Haven’t heard the engine oil thing but that doesn’t sound particularly environmentally friendly. Anyone have experience with that who can comment?
Can you do this with green wood?
Hmm. I suppose so. My concern would be that given the moisture coupled with the application of heat, you would have a greater chance of the wood warping and twisting. I'm just hypothesizing on that though. Can anyone else chime in a provide some guidance to Roscoe's question?
Thanks for your video about your updated way of Shou Sugiban. By the way, „sugiban“ is like the english word „super“ and not „shoe“ and „gi“ like in English „give me“. And the japanese „shou“ is more like two parts „sho“ (English word „shore“) and „u“ (but not like the English word „you“ rather like the sound one makes when thinking „Huh, what did you say?“)
Think about like it would be written „sho-u su-gi ba-n“ ==> sho-huh su(per)-gi(ve) ba(r)n
Japanese (and the related Turk languages) are beautiful languages for the human anatomy of tongue, teeth, lips, breathing etc. and very easy to speak. Writing Japanese on the other hand is not that easy and it distorts the image of the Japanese language of an easy to speak language.
I find Japanese to be difficult in all ways. Very cool culture though and there is a lot to be learned from their artisan crafts people. Centuries of customs and honing of skills that we can all benefit from. Shou Sugiban being just one of many. Thanks for your comment. Is that the Brandenburg Gate in your channel image? I used to live in Berlin. Love that place...
Too much nonsense production. It's such a turn off. Stick with the direct content, don't do the fluff.
I appreciate the critique. I try to make it entertaining and yes, I do try to put a lot into the production. So in your view a how to video should just be there to simply convey information and everything else is just unnecessary? Do any of my other videos do a better job of that (assuming you may have watched something else of mine).
@@TinyIndustrial 'Everyone does it'. And so I click ahead, or don't watch the video.
Yeah, I hear you. Thanks again for checking out the video either way! Always trying to get better.
Start your channel edit how you like it.
