It's cedar wood. Fire brings out the resins and forms them into a waterproof, bug proof awesome finish. The planks this chap makes will outlast all of us
I wonder to his trade secret or not secret what does he apply after the burn because the char does flake away after awhile and I know some people applied some type of oil to fuse the char stop it from flaking and maintain that crocodile skin looks.
I tried it myself with well dried larch. There is some thin wood put in with the newspaper, if you watch the video colsely. It works like a charm! You wouldn't believe, how fast you have a blazing furnace!
Hi! I am woundering if you could tell me anything about if you saw this tecnique beeing used on roofs as well? I am building a house and are going to have a wooden roof, I am thinking about doing shou sugi ban but I am having a hard time finding any information if it would be suitable for a roof?
@@luclafor Yes, and humidity is fine. Wood "breathes". Its cells absorbing water from the air when relative humidity is high and releasing it back when the air is dry again. I'm not sure how the charring affects water transportation through the boards, but if you paint the boards with a (relatively) impermeable paint, typically based on plastics, the back side should be unpainted so that the wood can "breathe". Otherwise it will rot. Which is why there should also be an air gap behind the boards. Even if you were to use a paint that's (relatively) permeable, like based on linseed oil or rye flour, it's just not necessary to paint the back side. Paint is mainly an esthetic element, while it protects the wood from slooowly breaking down from UV rays. Painting the back side would be twice as expensive and twice as dumb :) For yakisugi, it's twice as much work.
From my understanding , it is quickly burning and vaporizing the volatile compounds and resins in the top surface of the wood, starting at the very bottom. And as the fire goes upward it continues somewhat evenly as the fire doesn't penetrate very deep.

watch one crappy youtube video about shou sugi ban and had to stop, all theirs just looks like firewood and pretty ugly. One guy even used black stain after burning the wood like what the hell is the point then?.
lmfao....so you created a channel to just post videos from other ppl in hopes to get that phat money that isn't there from TH-cam anymore...lol come on man!

Been looking for a video like this - just what I needed- thank you! Simple and effective tech - Love it!
Damn, imagine living next door. Every 30 minutes you smell that awesome smoke and want to eat some ribs!

@marthale7 Yea that is why I am watching as well, I will be doing oak barrels.
I read that this makes your wood moister resistant and deters termites.
Thank you for uploading!
all other vids (westner) about this subject was looking so man laborious and amateuric, but u man showed how it is done 👌Trade pull of its perfection
ほんと少しの新聞紙だけで着火するのはすげぇよな。煙突効果とウッドガスってパワフル
Lavoro straordinario complimenti!!
J'adore cette technique ! Merci.
Awesome technique !!!
спасибо, отличное видео процесса. теперь я смогу это повторить. только нужно будет сделать табличку "это не пожар - я делаю якисуги".
Nice work man!
Very nice technique
I wonder to his trade secret or not secret what does he apply after the burn because the char does flake away after awhile and I know some people applied some type of oil to fuse the char stop it from flaking and maintain that crocodile skin looks.
I think boiled linseed oil is the traditional finish.
Maybe linseed oil.
Edit: yeah see above linseed oil also hardens which makes the finish last longer.
Boiled linseed oil works very good. The oil sets after a week
Good job, but I would have liked to seen a fire exstinguisher nearby.
How did that little bit of newspaper create that much fire?!
You do know that wood burns right?
Damon Lam this shape works as a chimney, due to pressure difference it gets more air- thus oxygen from the down side.
And that's how it's done!
Also, he told me the wood is kept drying in the sun for at least 14 weeks, so at this point the cedar is really dry and burns instantly
I tried it myself with well dried larch. There is some thin wood put in with the newspaper, if you watch the video colsely. It works like a charm! You wouldn't believe, how fast you have a blazing furnace!
This was coooool!! I need to try it. Does it work with pine too?
Yes. Pine and cedar yield the best results. Hardwoods, such as oak, maple, and hickory, do not fair so well.

What did you use to clamp them together? I've used wire on 12 foot boards but am doing some 16 footers now. Wire isn't doing the trick.
U can use hemp cord, soke it in water for 30 minutes then it will withstand the heat for this technique.
I think he's using some chain and maybe some springs to keep it in tension? And then metal wedges to increase oxygen flow
This method of shou sugi ban rules
Cheap and fast!
Yakisugi is the traditional non_westernized term to use in case you were curious 😀
Beautiful. What kind of wood?
+Anton Proton Japanese cedar
Cedar!
ça brul ça brul'😮😮DANGEREUX
Hello, problem: Standing in the sun, after a few months, the boards change color. They lose the "black" and lighten up.
Solution: Linseed oil?
No
Hello, can I buy this off of you? How can I reach you?
Can I have VDO be used?
what is that piece that he hols up at 0:30?
Just piece of wood or cardboard for burning.
Magic.
why don't they do it on both sides?
No need to protect the backside, as it's not exposed to the weather
@@ximono - Well it's still exposed to humidity, no?
@@luclafor Yes, and humidity is fine. Wood "breathes". Its cells absorbing water from the air when relative humidity is high and releasing it back when the air is dry again.

@@ximono - Oh ok then, if you say so. I guess you're an expert. Thanks
Is it not hotter on the top? I would turn it after a while. Looks awesome
From my understanding , it is quickly burning and vaporizing the volatile compounds and resins in the top surface of the wood, starting at the very bottom. And as the fire goes upward it continues somewhat evenly as the fire doesn't penetrate very deep.
Why would anyone bother to do that? Is it some sort of easthetic? Or is there another, more practical readon?
Jenene Try centuries :b it's one if not the most rot and bug resistent ways of treating wood known to man.
This type of wood can last for centuries as the coal finish inhibits mold growth. Usually oil is applied afterwards to seal it further.
This man is a bad ass
Does he do all the sides?
nope, the sides are left unburned
