Thank you for a video with clear and direct instructions. You are my favorite type of instructional video tutor, straight to the point and we don't have to hear some random story before you got to the point. Thank you.
Best video I found using this technique. This is quite different from others, much better & to the point . I'm so excited to use your technique w/out feeling overwhelmed!
Susan H. Cooper wow! Thank you so much! Thanks for the comment. If you have any questions along the way feel free to ask. Find me on Instagram or Facebook and message me there. I don’t see these comments very often.
Ever since I learned this technique I use it on almost everything I've made. Fireplace mantle tv stand, my flatbed truck, a kitchen island I've build it's such a fun and good technique and it helps the wood withstand moisture specially the more you char it
I've been sand blasting log cabins and wood flooring with fine sand then burning the wood lightly . Faster and a lot less work . I learned this after blasting a log cabin that caught on fire in Oregon about 25 years ago . I didn't know it was a Japanese thing but the cabin sure did turn out real cool and same with floors in my house
Suggestion for the metal brush ... I bought some cheap small grill brushes (clipped off the metal scraper on the front), you can get a good grip on the head of the brush, and it's a lot wider than that long handled brush. I'm doing long wall planks and it really sped up my work.
thank you so much for the video im going make a concrete top night stand for my house and been looking for just this burnt look for the wood part of it
@@tuco86x Nothing in the planning stages at all. Consider your comments before making them...my 23yo son committed suicide this past October and it was something that he helped me with.
I made a bed frame out of Oregon once. I lightly sand blasted the timber with very fine sand then brushed all the residue off. Then I lightly burnt the raised grain with a blow torch before finishing it with a wax. The feel of the grain was amazing. The bed was a four poster which were lathed. It was queen sized, everything put together with wooden pins and wedges. It took me months to make. I lost it in a fire. Heartbreaking.
I love this process of burning the wood, wire brushing and finish. Would look great as floor boards. Wonder how sand blasting the grain section would look then applying a epoxy finish. Love the look with color!
I'm going to use some aged pallet wood, burn the grain a bit and use it as the mounting base for a deer skull. Then wrap it in some barbed wire for a rough look. Just needed to watch someone do this before I attempt. Thanks.
I love the burnt 🔥 wood look it really makes the grain pop out. I've used it on my wood spirit carvings before and it saves a lot of sanding with it burning 🔥 off the splinters of wood, good tutorial that's why I've subscribed to your channel. Cheers Tim from wood 4 nothing
Damn! I just learned something in the first 5 seconds of this video. I do mine a tad different but see now where I can try a different method and get a gorgeous result too! Thanks!
Love Of The Grain Workshop sorry about the notices. Fat fingers slipped. Anyway, I have a 6x6x12 raw timber in my shop that I’m about to test drive for an elaborate deck for a client. He wants the deep true shou sugi ban treatment for all of it’s real intentions and benefits obviously. I mean, 70+ years with no sealer other than light oil, who wouldn’t. She wants the “lightly toasted like a marshmallow” just for aesthetics. I took my mapgas and a 2x4 over to get their joint decision. And god help us all. I let myself out you know. But now, since we are doing a covered and uncovered with a rain garden, seeing you do that light side to side to really darken the hard grain and kiss the soft fibers, might pitch a compromise and play on contrasts if they’re still married tomorrow! LOL! Good stuff all the way around man. Love the channel. (Sad thing is, I’m an artist that can build a great deck so all the artsy fartsy stuff has to come out in that most often)
Not a good idea to try and burn your house! Flames will shoot up between the boards and light any dust that is up there and the next thing you know is you have an attic fire! Try explaining that to the insurance adjuster as he is denying your claim!
Well I took it a bit like he or she was getting on a ladder and gonna torch the ceiling! These days we can never assume some folks have common sense Lol. Scary times we live in nowadays :o
I'm making a spice rack kind like this, not quite so colorful, I just stained it with some early american minwax. Gave it a reddish look I really like.
I accidentally tapped this video while my phone was in my pocket and I wondered what the loud noise was 😂 I checked my phone and saw this looks cool so I waited till it finished
Haha I was wondering if anyone would see that. Yeah it’s an old school craftsman contractor one. Super heavy duty. I do love it. Don’t think it hurt it at all. Thanks for commenting
Love Of The Grain Workshop No harm done I'm sure! I love my table saw too, but as its an upgrade I've had for only a year, and still shiny, shou sugi ban gets done somewhere else!
bob ..in this vid he was using smooth softwood, with great effect. I use this method a lot on rough sawn reclaimed wood like pallets etc. Its a great way to clean rough wood up, burn away the splintery bits and make it look and feel nice like driftwood : )
Try rubbing the wood down thoroughly with beeswax before doing the light burn. Makes the wood water repellent, and adds a beautiful golden colour. I do it for the frames of my food drying racks.
Hello your video was amazing I am doing a project and I am in the step of the good sealer I will want to know what tipe of good sealer you use in the video.Thank you for your help.
One of two preferably Epoxy resin, 2nd choice would be a two part conversion varnish! I have done many different finishes and for a bartop Epoxy would be the one I’d recommend. A nice flood coat or two. To build up.
I just love love love this video. What sealant did you use? Was it the sealant that gave it that beautiful colour? The second picture you showed after it was done, is that the same piece of wood? That's such a beautiful colour. Thank you
So glad I came across this video. I'm about to build a platform bed frame, floating headboard, and a corner style dog Kennel all in this style. I've done some research and came to the conclusion that Linseed Oil is one of the best sealers for animals, do you have any other suggestions? also do you ever work with Linseed? Any pros/cons in your professional opinion? lastly, do you have any videos of Shou-sugi-ban using Linseed Oil as a sealer? thank you so much, love the channel!
I'm planning to do this for indoor flooring. I like the lighter/zebra look. Should my process be: torch, lightly sand, seal, lightly sand, seal, lightly sand, seal? (I'm assuming I need to seal about 3 times - and that I need to sand in between each coat?) Which sealant do you recommend? I want to keep as much of the natural color as possible (ie I want to avoid darkening or tinting the wood as much as possible). Thank you! Your videos are awesome!
IniquityBliss thanks very much! Yes that’s correct. Sealer for what you want should be what I used in this video a water based poly. Like Polycrylic. It brushes on with a whitish-blue color but dries absolutely clear.
Craig Mckinney, considering your 40 yrs experience, I wish to make dovetailed jewellery boxes with this finish. Have you made anything small where timber is 1/2 in -12 mm thick ? I have trouble with wood this thick warping with the heat. If you know how to avoid the warping, I would like your advice. Thanking you in anticipation. Bob Frood, Peninsula North Men’s’ Shed, Baxter, Victoria, Australia.
My first thought is don't dawdle, try to move as quickly as possible and still get the same result. Second, if you are planing the wood to final size, char the wood first, then plane to final thickness. Hope that helps and keep on working wood.
after much thought I remember doing the same thing with some very thin (5/16") pieces and they did not warp or curl on me. They were molding and very dry (probably 5% or 6%). I think that your stock is not dry enough.
Craig Mckinney Thanks . I might try my alternative to a kiln, like a microwave or range oven while clamped flat. My main concern is for the box lid due to its wider area. After burning and before brushing, I can also try reducing thickness on a jointer. I also consider leaving the lid thick with upper surface plane higher than the top edges of sides which would make it easier to brush away the char. More info later.
This is awesome! What brand of water based Polyurethane did you use? I’m not sure which one to go with. Do You think I can get this look using Douglas fir green lumber and or Japanese cedar?
Also, rung oil. Which did you use. Do I need both poly and tung? If I am to make out door pavers , can I use regular wood and make to sheathed proof or do you recommend getring weather treated lumber?
I used Minwax Polycrylic. As far as wood. Douglas fir & japanese cedar work great. But I wouldn’t use any green wood as it’s to wet. It will likely bow, cup, twist or split. It should be kiln dried.
I've got a build that requires wood against aluminum siding and there's likely to see mold since the metal side will be outside in the weather. My question is, does should sugi ban protect against molds? Also, if the wood is painted, does it still guard against mold?
I love torching my wood projects! What kind of wood is that piece because I really like the amber color that came out after u out the sealer! I assume that’s your basic spar urethane?
I agree about the table saw. Looks beautiful though. Seems the grain is raised a bit. How would one fix that for lets say, for a table? I have a few tons of 175 year old "Heart Pine" that is hard as stone that I really want to do some awesome projects with... Any ideas?
I would skip the really heavy burning and just do the first run. I did a video series where I skipped the second burn and most of the sanding. This is for a shelving project, so I couldn't have those crazy variations either. This is a link to first video. m.th-cam.com/video/xeFHnTKBgBI/w-d-xo.html
Looks amazing! I have a diy project coming up, I would like to make a frame for our bed, and this is exactly the look I would like 😍 but I'm concerned about if it smells burned? I have a very sensitive nose 😉 and does it rub off when it is touched stain fx clothes? Thank you in advance for your answer 😀
It does has a slight smell prior to sealing. Make sure you sand and dust it well. That should help tremendously with and dust rubbing off. Blow it off with a compressor, dust with a rag, then use tack cloth (which you can get from any hardware store) to remove and stragglers. That will take care of the dust rub off issue. After that seal with Polyurethane or Polycrylic (I recommend Polycrylic as it’s water based for easy clean up and dries faster, about 3-4 coats). Or you can use Danish oil which is rubbed on and really nice as well. Danish oil gets rubbed on with a rag, set 5-10 minutes buff off excess, wait for the recommended dry time before reapplying about 3-4 coats as well. Have fun. Send me some pics!
You can almost see it in this video...how do you counter the cupping this causes? Is burning both sides the only way to counter that loss of moisture or will certain oils help with this?
Patriot4TheTree on this one I didn’t. Cupping happens on larger pieces. Or pieces that are really wide or moist. To prevent it you can burn both sides. Also make sure to wet the surface prior and after burning. Burn fast.

After you burn and stain the wood Do you have to seal it with something? I'm building a outside bar. Do you have a video of that? Thanks you the man.
No stain needed. But yes seal it with a tongue oil is traditional. But you could use an outdoor varnish as well.
Do you recommend a certain brand? Do you think the Howard oil based wood polish n conditioner would work?
I believe this is an ancient way of weather proofing wood without using sealer
eddyoddrod it is but it does require an oil based coating i use wipe or poly for it now and it looks great

Just a plumbers handheld torch

blackpantera77 on this one Minwax Polycrylic.
After sanding back to show burnt grain... Wet it and sand lightly again... Then put sealer...
Karl Dunne why?
Yep that can help with little fibers that raise during the coating.
@@loveofthegrainworkshop2891 You mean wet it with some water,? Then Dry it off & sand it again, they put on a sealer like a Poly coat etc.? thanks.
Obviously this method is cosmetically appealing, but how much surface char must we leave to achieve the water-proofing benefits of Shou-sugi-ban ?
finton i would assume that you’d leave all of the charr. Which is the ancient technique
Absolutely Gorgeous. Does it matter with the torch with the grain or against? also was that an orbital sander?
Mitch Muerle No, direction doesn’t matter. Yes an orbital sander is what I used

I would skip the really heavy burning and just do the first run. I did a video series where I skipped the second burn and most of the sanding. This is for a shelving project, so I couldn't have those crazy variations either. This is a link to first video. m.th-cam.com/video/xeFHnTKBgBI/w-d-xo.html
Jim Sly I would stick with a light burn. If it doesn’t look right then move onto a heavy burn
Looks amazing! I have a diy project coming up, I would like to make a frame for our bed, and this is exactly the look I would like 😍 but I'm concerned about if it smells burned? I have a very sensitive nose 😉 and does it rub off when it is touched stain fx clothes? Thank you in advance for your answer 😀
It does has a slight smell prior to sealing. Make sure you sand and dust it well. That should help tremendously with and dust rubbing off. Blow it off with a compressor, dust with a rag, then use tack cloth (which you can get from any hardware store) to remove and stragglers. That will take care of the dust rub off issue. After that seal with Polyurethane or Polycrylic (I recommend Polycrylic as it’s water based for easy clean up and dries faster, about 3-4 coats). Or you can use Danish oil which is rubbed on and really nice as well. Danish oil gets rubbed on with a rag, set 5-10 minutes buff off excess, wait for the recommended dry time before reapplying about 3-4 coats as well. Have fun. Send me some pics!
You can almost see it in this video...how do you counter the cupping this causes? Is burning both sides the only way to counter that loss of moisture or will certain oils help with this?
Patriot4TheTree on this one I didn’t. Cupping happens on larger pieces. Or pieces that are really wide or moist. To prevent it you can burn both sides. Also make sure to wet the surface prior and after burning. Burn fast.
