The Art of Shou Sugi Ban Yakisugi | 焼杉板 | Unbelievable Japanese Woodworking Technique

[@leroycasterline1122]

I'm just getting started in woodworking (at age 71!). Until a couple of months ago, I'd never heard of Shou Sugi Ban; I've never seen wood's beauty enhanced with such versatility! Now, having watched dozens of videos, I can't wait to give it a shot.

I actually stumbled upon this when I was treating wood with fire. Then diesel and engine oil. I then looked st flame painting! Then I saw this method! Now I'm addicted. Lol . Amazing job. Cheers from Australia. Subbed and liked 🙂👍👍👍. Btw: so you can speed up the curing time with a heat gun? I used plywood on a custom knife handle restoration job. And it is coming out beautiful! I know plywood isn't really the best? But it's only going for display. Love this method. I have some black Japan stain! But it's creative pattern of the flame that got me hooked and it really pop out.

I want to do burnt wood on my business sign that we are building. So two questions. After burning what is the best thing to use to clear coat it ? Second question if I do a light stain after I burn it do I need to do a clear coat over the stain? I know nothing about wood so have no clue what is the best clear to put on it

[@ATKCeWarehouse]

any good quality clear coating shall be fine. You may choose PU clear for long lasting. However, i would suggest spray on for better effect.

[@capan1210]

Great job, from italy

[@ATKCeWarehouse]

Thank you, from Malaysia.

Several coats of clear poly would work just as good as a top coat if you are doing just a thin coat of epoxy, and poly is much less expensive.

[@ATKCeWarehouse]

No, plywood is formed by layers. You won't get the visible wood grain finishes.

Try it on a scrap of plywood. My guess is you won’t be able to do a “deep” burn. Like he says “happy trying”. Let us all know how it goes. Maybe do a video to show the outcome. It’s ok to show if it works or if I doesn’t.it is more about sharing the lessens learned

[@Puleczech]

Hello, what is the estimate for how long can the wood treated like this last? Compared to regular unburnt wood. Thank you.

[@ATKCeWarehouse]

Depending on the weather, for example Malaysia is hot and humid, rain fall through out the year. Soft wood like pine if not treated or coated will start to deteriorate within months to 1-2 years.

[@Puleczech]

@@ATKCeWarehouse I see, but how long will Shou Sugi Ban treated pine wood (for example) last then? Double that? Triple that?

[@ATKCeWarehouse]

@@Puleczech The trick for "long lasting" in timber is to prevent any moisture going inside. Other than Shou Sugi Ban, seal it with sealer or paint to prolong the protection.

[@vdoxsamp7283]

You need to coat it with a protection but it wears out over time so you will need to re-apply every year which might require some light sanding

[@petemiller352]

So this is where the wax on wax off comes from

[@danawilliams7012]

Can this be used on a teak bathtub?

@@kevinksc627 Nope.

[@bondpaz]

Is it important to scrub the heck out of it? What happens if you don’t scrub it a lot?

[@ATKCeWarehouse]

The purpose is to scrub off the charcoal burnt. If you are looking for deeper grain, you may torch it longer. Else, you may lightly torch it for a lighter burnt mark effect. Thank you.

[@bondpaz]

@@ATKCeWarehouse ok thanks 😊

[@CliveStephensonCoUkDesigner]

how do you keep the strongly charred "dragon skin" efffect and then seal it so the charred carbon doesnt brush away? no one has done a video explaining that

[@ATKCeWarehouse]

Noted. Maybe i will.

[@kvogel9245]

In Japan there is one company that manufactures these for siding, which is pretty much the only way it is used there. They are left unglazed as is (traditional method in Ehime prefecture) or painted with water-based acrylic paint (modern) because oil penetrates rather than forming a surface layer. If the carbon is brushed off, the paint is black or clear. If not, a clear coat is used.

[@ATKCeWarehouse]

@@kvogel9245 Thank you so much for the info.

[@jellyg.8961]

Yes they have. After charring the wood it's mildly cleaned and epoxy is applied. I have seen two videos with that finishing.

[@vsemprivet]

Though I appreciate the time and effort used for creating this video, I somewhat doubt it is an original Shou Sugi Ban technique. To me it's just a regural wood burning+adding whatever finish you want. If I'm not mistaken, the original Japanese technique doesn't involve epoxy resin which didn't exist in 18th century lol or any other colouring or finishing other than just charring. Here is an example how it is done in Japan - no stain, no paint, no epoxy and other shit: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKu5oHWlnJ10lZY

[@ATKCeWarehouse]

Thank you for your sharing!

[@twillbdone3273]

I'm thinking he is using the basic method of Shou Sugi Ban as a starting point. Burn wood and brush char off. Then trying different things. So, no not completely traditional Japanese Shou Sugi Ban/ Yukisugi. But he never claimed to be staying completely traditional. I enjoyed seeing what else is possible.
