Congrats on the 100k subscribers. I’ve been watching your weekly videos for about a year and a half. It’s something I look forward to watching every weekend.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

[@mikepetersen1999]

Congratulations on 100k!! Love to content!

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you Mike!!

[@Goalsplus]

I've done a bit of shou sugi ban but the idea of the black stain after is very good. Thanks very much.

[@johncotton866]

Another great video! Thanks for showing us how you finished the bench, as well as the building process. Your content is outstanding. In my opinion, you should be at one million subscribers, instead of only one-hundred-thousand. Keep up the good work!!!

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

One day! Haha thanks John! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@tahinde]

Welcome back Sager, missed seeing you in the videos. Congratulations on 100,000, still can't believe it's not 1,000,000 or more, and glad Haley is back to keep you all in line.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you Steve, glad you enjoy seeing what we're up to!!

[@kdgames6082]

You guys have taught me a lot about resin casting and we’re actually the ones who got me interested in it. What’s funny though is my biggest resin pour was only 64oz, so a tad smaller than what you guys pour.😂

[@richcartwright889]

Always beautiful work

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you so much!!

[@aaronwilton8738]

I’ve been watching your videos right from the very first video you ever posted. I’m pretty sure it was even the first day you posted it pretty cool to see you at 100k

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you Karen!

[@algaudreau2774]

I really like that technique the black stain was a good idea Looks super deep black

Thanks Al! Yeah it's a super cool technique!

[@timdyck8492]

Congrats on 100,000 subs🍻 ,I’ve been there since 18,000 plus and still here ,great work !! Sho suhgi ban actually means (burnt cedar) and burnt wood is a natural preservative process 👍

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks for being here with us for so long Tim!

[@michellesutton202]

I love the look of the bench, before you stained it black, it was almost a chocolate color. This turned out amazing.

[@joesmucker8012]

Congrats on your 100,000 subscribers, the bench looks awesome.....

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks Joe!!!

[@jaderene]

These video was is awesome!!!! One of my favorite Japanese wood working techniques! And I think I have an idea of what the next project will be for the award, but my lips are sealed!

[@paulbrittain3925]

Congrats on 100,000. Proud to be a subscriber. Always informative and entertaining. Would love to see shou sugi ban technique on river table/bench. Would be an awesome challenge. See ya.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks for being a subscriber Paul! We might have to try that although I honestly don't know how that would turn out haha

[@paulbrittain3925]

@@BlackForestWoodCo Hi. Haven't tried it yet. Trying to figure out how to do it without compromising the burn finish ie epoxy overlap. Can't find any KZbin post of anyone who's tried it. Who better to try it than the creative masters at Black Forest Wood eh! Would look awesome and be a creative first.

[@DeadOfTheDave]

I wanna see the burning technique with some crazy resin casting. Would look sweet.

[@woodpecker8546]

Resin casting before or after the burning ** hahahaha **

[@WardNightstone]

I've seen resin cast burnt wood and YEA it can if you do it right use a SUPER bright opaque color as a sort of base pour so it flows into all the grooves and defects then do a clear topcoat over it

[@Meyerwoodworks]

Blacktail Studios

[@DeadOfTheDave]

@@Meyerwoodworks I meant I want to see Black Forest do it. I've seen Blacktail do it. I think our guys here can do better.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

OKAY. Now you got me thinking 🤔 Give us a few weeks 😎

[@cortlandhunt4721]

Congrats on 100K a real milestone. 👍🇺🇸

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you! It really is!!

[@robertweber5485]

I absolutely love this process have used it several times, you did an excellent job on it

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Yeah it's super fun and looks awesome! Thanks Robert!

[@andreroussel]

Nice bench. I use a BBQ stainless steel brush head to do the brushing and find it does a great job and doesn't dig in to the wood. It's about 4" X 3"1/2, is flat and fits nicely in the hand.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Ooh! That sounds like a good idea, thanks Andre!

[@richardlaymance9984]

I love that look. Nice job

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you Richard!

[@xamitz58]

Epoxy a KZbin play button.. you have it away. You owe me a table now!

[@lowashi2087]

I like that you did the black stain to get the uniform color. I’ll doing this on cedar for outdoor projects. Thanks. Great job.

Yes! We're hoping to use this technique more in the future!!

Thanks David!

[@carleenpring3404]

Hey Dylan, It's great that you are willing to expand your business to create pieces for all tastes. This is an awesome method and interesting way of treating the timber. Hi from Australia

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you Carleen! We’re always up to trying new things 😁

[@mikeyoung8126]

Very beautiful bench I love that technique and Charler is so cute I can tell he spoiled rotten congratulations on hitting 100,000 subscribers

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks so much Mike. And yes, Charlie is hard not to spoil, he's too cute not to haha

[@khrysdundr328]

Fantastic work. Beautiful Bench. How do you buff in the Osmo in the crevices on the bottom of that bench without having too much built up in the corners? Thanks

[@dalekechter3896]

Very interesting and enjoyable to watch

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks Dale!!

[@iamonlyme9514]

love the look 😁

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you! Us too!

[@richardstephens3327]

Great looking bench. I have seen several timber framers using that curing technique on there timbers to protect the lumber from rot and decay.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Yes! It’s very popular for exterior finishing!

[@markhandy3805]

Nice work i love it thank you

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks Mark 😁

[@clintfarnsworth6386]

Congrats on the 100k! I might have missed it but what's wood species did you use?

[@jacquiemouton9053]

That dog just gets cuter every week. Oh and your bench was rather nice as well. x

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Haha he really does! Thanks Jacquie!

[@gregorysquires2685]

Congratulations on 100K!!! Does that technique also make the wood insect resistant?? I’ve seen some videos of people building their house using that technique on the timber framing and siding. Just curious. Also wondering if the osmo locks in the wood so you don’t get a burnt wood smell? Wonderful content! Fantastic bench!!

[@Kcets]

You guys are definitely going to do some sort of casting with the 100k silver award. If you cast it and also put it into a table that would be doooooope.

[@ericdrurycgy2001]

Probably going to cast the silver play button in resin

[@catboy1672]

Windsor Plywood Penticton, big fan of you guys. I recommend you guys daily when it comes to how to properly use epoxy. Awesome job with this even though it didn’t have epoxy.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Wow thanks for recommending us!

[@ScottRedstone]

I laughed out loud when Charlie chomped snorkie oinkie pig. I saw a show on different types of homes from bamboo tree houses to underground rift houses. One episode was a Swedish home built using sukiyaki burning technique on the exterior. Good to hear you hit 100k. It will grow for sure.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Haha it's quite the toy. and thanks Scott!!

[@thehansmemling]

This bench is so fire.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Hahaha

[@peterfc1notno6]

Congratulations from Portugal now for the next 100,000

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you peterfc 😁

[@bill48m]

really liked the finish. what type of wood for that table? it looked like pine. congrats on 101K

[@EternalCentral]

That finished bench looks great. What do you think about potentially using Rubio Monocoat Charcoal (or Black) instead of the General Finishes Black + Osmo 3043 combo? That would still give you the rich black color, but with the hardwax and oil from the Rubio, and still retain some of the nice feel and characteristics of the wood burn. Can you please share a link to the torch you used for this? Would like to check it out, thanks!

[@casperscuts2627]

Well done on the 100k, next stop 200k!

@@03treefitty Well things have to get better eventually, just hopefully it's sooner rather than later!

[@JVHorvath1]

Ive done this burning look on live edge tables before sealing them in epoxy. Especially if im going to be using a staining epoxy like charcoal black or whatever, that way the black epoxy doesnt seep deep into the wood, it stays sort of surface level.

[@brucemaher7621]

Been waiting... very good thanks When is the weight in.... Get your Dad to speak like Yodi...he sounded like it when he was taking to Charlie..

[@fnordeon1013]

Interesting work with this technique. Only seen it a few times over the years. Nice result, great surface texture! You guys must be hard at work. Was Dylan so tired that he needed a leg rub by Charlie to keep standing 💕? And now you are having him work as a part time janitor as well? No wonder even the toy pig felt needed to make a statement 😂 Congratulations on 100K subscribers - lets go for 125K guys! 😊 Jesus fish math.... 😂😂😂

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Hahaha yes, Charlie is very attentive and also a hard worker haha! Thanks so much!!

[@gabrielpursley2812]

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Haha he does 🤣

[@marktubeie07]

04:54 hilarious! I lost it there.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Hahaha glad you enjoyed Spencer's very sophisticated math

[@cattac6]

Shou Sugi Ban, another feather in your cap! This bench turned out really good. Did I hear you say that the timber used was Ash? How appropriate! As much as I like the technique and the end result, I was surprised to see you using a black wax finish. I was thinking there would be more of a contrast with a clear wax, this would show more of the subtle differences in the grain. If you were heading for an all black finish why not just use a black stain? But then Spencer would not have had as much fun, dont let him loose with that flame thrower..!! ** Congratulations to you all. I really missed not getting my BFWC fix last week but hey this sort of made up for it. Cheers, stay safe and I hope the hairdresser opens soon heh heh.

[@roberta.brokaw3829]

I tried this technique several years ago on a picture frame for my wife. It didn't come out as well as your bench but she did like the outcome. Too bad a moving company crushed it during one of our many moves. The bench is nice. Stay safe.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Awe that's too bad! And thanks Robert!

idk why, but i find this mind blowingly interesting

[@maturefox1]

"... come on, baby, light my fire!" 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 No, seriously, ... that'sreally kinda cool - really like it! 🦊

[@sabersaw5611]

Did you use any water on the surfaces in between burning? How did you combat movement?

[@neitzche1245]

Could you do a shosugi ban river table? Or would the burn disrupt the bonding of the would and epoxy? Just curious.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

I’m thinking it might damage the resin.
