Wanted you to know I used your technique on a barn door headboard and the results were outstanding. Sold it for $550 dollars and I'm getting orders for more. Thanks!!
Hi Nick I got into the shou sugi ban thing about 3 months ago and deep burn everything. It's way more eye candy than the light burn. Up until I heard about the Keda dyes I just used plain old Tremclad rust paint thinned 50%. Personally other than the major wiping when using Tremclad I prefer the final result over the Keda. I'm not knocking Keda at all. I used the Keda blue on a table which looks absolutely great. With the Tremclad one coat is all you need but like I said it has to be rubbed out. The best one I did was when I used Tremclad aluminum. It's just not a colour you'd expect to see on wood is probably the reason. Great videos Nick. I've learned a lot from them
Thanks for the love, Peter! If you work with wood dyes, check out my video on the art piece I created. I used Folk Art Ultra Dye and it's now my favorite goto dye. It's ready to go right out of the bottle. One coat. th-cam.com/video/-_CXfpdS-7I/w-d-xo.html
I recently bought 10 bottles of unicorn spit (it ain’t cheap) so I’m going to experiment with that first. The colors are crazy cool as are some of the online ideas. I loved watching you burn the wood first though so that just entered my plans. I hate watching “dry” instructors so thanks so much for the entertaining lesson.
Hey Nick, I'm Timothy McKenna. I already love your channel. I would incourage everyone to look into Patreon to help support you. There are a lot of different levels to fit anybody. Burn on!
I've used the purple Unicorn Spit in the past. I diluted it a lot more. I don't know how much, I didn't measure.... But I thought it still worked great! Nice video, Nick!
Amazing video. I am building a computer desk thanks to you and your instructions. Trying something new. Burner is in the mail as well as the dyes. Liked, Subscribed and notifications set looking forward to more videos
I just experimented with mica powder pigments in coconut oil as a stain. Amazing result. mix a little mica into a clear lacquer for a finish coat, and it really pops.
UNiCORN SPiT need to be diluted with 3-10 parts water to become a dye. It also dries chalky to let you know when it’s dry enough to seal. Great tutorial 💕
Very interested in the dilution ratios..does it affect the base colour if you dilute it? ( I've make the red more of a pink?) Great video Nick and Hi from the UK...
God you are so funny! I watched this for the Unicorn Spit trial and results but found myself laughing too much to really pay attention to your project outcome! Thanks for the “results” and the laughs! Keep it up!
I watch your videos because I'm quarantined and you crack me up !! Also, because I have two end tables that have stained tops which I'm going to try to sand down to the wood and try your method to distress the tops. It'll be an experiment. Still watching you- and learning.
Love the info and witty banter dude! I was wondering if there is a Keda white dye? I think it would look sick with this technique! Thanks for what you do!
Thanks for the love. Keda does not make a white dye. I'm not sure why. It might have to do with the ingredients he uses? The dyes are eco friendly and don't have the odor that stain does. Cheers! 👍🥃👍🥃
I think the reason the Keda dye seems to take better is because it's solvent based vs water based like the RIT and Unicorn Spit. I'm not terribly well versed in these products so I might be wrong. Love the video.
Outstanding video. Do you have a way to char 6x1 five foot long boards without warping the wood or twisting? I am about to make my truck bed floor doing burn dye method. I did a test board and warped it.
I can attest to this! Keda dyes are incredible! Best I've found. Use in water or rubbing alcohol. Theu both turn out incredible. You can even spray it and it works great!
Love your videos. Building a wedding arch for my son and his wife. Going to use this technique. Initial experiments going well. One question, if you're still answering them: The arch is made of box beams (1x6 boards built into a square tube) that are sectioned in 4 foot lengths. They are constructed using tongue and groove and will be glued up. I feel like I will need to build the box beam sections before I do the burning in order to get a consistent burn and to prevent issues fitting it together due to warping or other changes to dimensions from the heat. Any suggestions on this?
Definitely build them first. Tongue and groove can get all messed up during the burn as the tongues are thinner stock and can become brittle. I'd say glue the hell out of it and make sure to take quick passes with the torch. That way you won't make the glue bonds fail. Also if you can get a couple of metal L-brackets inside the beam, it might be a good idea. Also keep an eye on your end-grain. Heat tends to make the boards cup the way the C of the end-grain is going. Make sure to burn the opposite side to mitigate cupping. Cheers
@@BuildDadBuild Great info. Definitely going to glue like crazy with Gorilla Glue. I will have box splices inside the box beams (to splice the 4' sections into 8' box beams) so that should take the place of L-brackets. They will be glued and screwed in. I don't think I'm going to mess with the end grain other than maybe a quick surface pass to darken it. It doesn't really show on the arch the way it's set up. When you say "Make sure to burn the opposite side..." you don't mean the inside of the box beam, do you? There's no way to get inside the beam and do that safely. Finally, is there a way to send a picture? Grasshopper would love to show off his test piece to the master. LOL (P.S. Saw the smoked whiskey video and that's on the agenda as a project with son when he gets back from "places".)
Dude looks awesome I tried to do the same with with some die and stainnto a gun stock. Black\blue. Didn't come out nice so the whole thing is black now. Guess walnut doesn't soak in as well. Love to see some other experimental color combinations. Awesome video bud, keep on, keeping on!
Haha ! You remind me of myself when I ain’t burned in awhile too . I was so frustrated to get a late start on a work project the other day and my torch was wussing out on me . Haha! I was so antsy to get fire to wood ! I’m making something SUPER DAMN COOL ! 😂
Awesome videos that inspired me to change how I want to do the wood accents in my van build. I'm looking at making a Shou-sugi-ban accents and maybe even a counter top but the whole color scheme is grey / white / black / glacier blue (arctic / winter colors). Do you have recommendations on coloring for achieving a grey or white tint?
Thank you! Grey or white? Sure! Check out the grey I used here: th-cam.com/video/SMz5r7TFcEI/w-d-xo.html And the white here: th-cam.com/video/cpBP1A2UrPE/w-d-xo.html Cheers!

Hey Nick, great video man. Have you tried the dye and burn on a pressure treated 4x4? I'm going to experiment and find out soon on pergola posts figured I'd ask
Thanks, Tim! I have not burned any pressure treated lumber. My understanding is when you burn pressure treated lumber you cause all the chemicals used to pressure treat it to become airborne. If you try it, where a respirator! Cheers!
@@BuildDadBuild maybe I'll see how the dye soaks in without any burn 1st. Maybe a light burn also. I heatweld asphalt to pressure treated wook plate often, commercial hot tar roofs.

I use rit dye I dont mix it with anything but I will tell you something else I use is tye dye the spots you got maybe because the rit and unicorn spit is a water based product
Hey Nick: I watched several of your videos a couple months ago. You kindly replied to some suggestions for your show and, later, you answered my question about the best wood coloring to use. (Keda Wood Dye. I accidentally addressed you as "Dan". Sorry about that!) So I went to work rebuilding an antique park bench, the wrought iron frame for which I found at a thrift store years ago. Apparently, the wood planks had rotted for they were long gone; only the wrought iron frame, in four pieces, remained with a few of the original screws and bolts still fastened to them. I'd like to upload some photos to show you the result, my first effort at Shou Sugi Ban. How may I do that?
Thanks for the video,,very informative on the products,canadian mist and wood burning is my therapy...i want too learn more about dyes and colored fillers....and topping with epoxey clear..??
Thank you! Check out the video below where I talk about Total Boat Halcyon Clear. Probably a better alternative to clear epoxy in most cases. th-cam.com/video/-_CXfpdS-7I/w-d-xo.html Halcyon Clear: amzn.to/2vuorzm Cheers!
Very entertaining and informative video! I've used Faber-Castell Pitt brush pens on small areas of wood (wooden peg people) and got great translucency. Probably not useful to you for your purposes unless you decide to take up pyrography, but hey, it's a comment for the algorithm! 😄
I think to get maximum color saturation you need to water the sapling with water that has been dyed. In 50 years you can harvest,mill, burn and done. Easy!
Hey man, is the Keda dye difficult to get hold of? Can't find it in the UK, and Amazon don't seem to have it either. Great channel by the way. My 10 year old daughter thinks you're very funny #legend! I love "coffee" too man.

hey man, love what your doin...i have an experiment i've been curious about since i got into shou sugi ban,and figure it would be quick and easy for you....what would happen if you dyed the wood first, then burned it? like heat lock the dye in? you could do a surface light burn and also and deep one and brush it out...you pickin up what im droppin brotha? im thinking it could yield some interesting effects...or go absolutely nowhere let me know what you think.... regardless you got yourself a new sub..later
I did that in a previous video. The dye doesn't penetrate deep enough and when you burn the dye comes off with the brush. th-cam.com/video/cN9lwps2Onk/w-d-xo.html Cheers!
This guy...unbelievable, not only does he get back to me same day. he hits with 'yea bruh'...'done thought it'.. 'done been there son'.....'went i and done done it....'can watch how its done, but..... dont do it son, i already done did it'

Have you ever tried kool-aid as a dye? I had a friend that wanted a bird house but didn’t want “chemicals” 🤔😉 on it as a stain. I used kool-aid and it turned out great.
I have not tried Kool-aid. LOL The stuff I'm in love with right now is Folk Art Ultra Dye. Comes pre-mixed and works great. I use it in this video (and talk about it a little, it's on clearance at Michaels so super cheap!) th-cam.com/video/-_CXfpdS-7I/w-d-xo.html Cheers!

@@BuildDadBuild thanks mate, appreciate the link. Most would just disregard my question.
Hey bud, Keda has two different types of liquid dye, the variety pack and the one you used in the video.. Is it the same stuff?
Same stuff. I just ordered one color to test.
Cheers!
hey man, love what your doin...i have an experiment i've been curious about since i got into shou sugi ban,and figure it would be quick and easy for you....what would happen if you dyed the wood first, then burned it? like heat lock the dye in? you could do a surface light burn and also and deep one and brush it out...you pickin up what im droppin brotha? im thinking it could yield some interesting effects...or go absolutely nowhere let me know what you think.... regardless you got yourself a new sub..later
I did that in a previous video. The dye doesn't penetrate deep enough and when you burn the dye comes off with the brush.

didn't see you wet the wood before using unicorn spit ...which would have opened up wood depth.
Thanks for the tip
Propane and Whiskey- The reason why the Fire Marshall and the ATF have your address saved in their GPS. And if the red is Unicorn Spit, is the brown Unicorn Shit? Inquiring minds wanna know!
LOL I think it all comes out the same end...

Have you ever tried kool-aid as a dye? I had a friend that wanted a bird house but didn’t want “chemicals” 🤔😉 on it as a stain. I used kool-aid and it turned out great.
I have not tried Kool-aid. LOL
The stuff I'm in love with right now is Folk Art Ultra Dye. Comes pre-mixed and works great.
I use it in this video (and talk about it a little, it's on clearance at Michaels so super cheap!)

Why do you wear AirPods in your videos? Are you using them as a microphone to hear yourself? Or hearing protection? Or just listening to tunes?
I'm just listening to tunes. And I'm calling that my "hearing protection" for the time being.
If I could figure out a way to use them as a mic for the videos...that would be awesome!
You're fucking hilarious. Added to the fact you're a whiskey guy...you and I would be good friends. PS Whiskey in your coffee...awesome. Love your videos too.
Thanks, Steve!
Cheers!!
