WOOD BURNING with a TORCH?! Shou Sugi Ban How To

[@stephweatherford3612]

That turquoise glaze made that fish piece. I love how whimsical that turned out. You could even carve a cute saying in the empty space or use mixed media techniques to add more underwater things. It’s great as it is too! So many decisions! I love it! Great video and you are a doll!

[@JerryPaulTreeCreations]

Great job, Sarah! This video really made me smile. You've really been growing and expanding with your craft / art work, and I love how you are testing your comfort zone. Seeing you wield the sander was awesome, but I totally went into "dad mode" watching you use the jig saw for the first time! hahahaha I felt SO PROUD OF YOU!! - again - GREAT JOB!! Here's a little tip... to make the sanding go a little smoother, try working up through the grits to the finer ones to get a great finish. ... for example, start at 100 grit, next go to 120, then 180, then to 220. You will save time and energy and the finished product will be SO very worth it! You could even try going higher through the grits to see just how shiny you can make it. With my wood turnings, I generally go to about 600 grit, and the wood grain just pops out at you. Some times, I don't even bother to finish with waxes etc., because the sanding was just enough. (mostly, that applies to hard woods like maple or oak, though) Really nice job on the wood burning as well. I've been enjoying watching you and your creativity evolve and mature through the years. Please, never stop. Cheers, and best wishes! Thank you for sharing your videos!

Great job! I do lots of torching projects and the first thing I discovered is KZbin is a Heavens sent! There are many people out there that are extremely talented at this. I also realized that it depends on whether it’s going to be indoor or outdoor project. I enjoy adding very natural color stains to my torching projects and always always always adding a good poly. This is a must! Makes the grains and colors pop so much more! I Prefer oil based spar urethane. Good luck on your future projects!

[@ash18908]

That technique is so neat! It's crazy how a basic, plain piece of wood can end up looking so pretty in the end.

[@johnjoe351]

I love what you have done with the wood. I am new to wood burning and I enjoyed watching you and it's give me some ideas. Keep up the good work.

[@Zorainna]

Yes! I get so excited when you upload your videos! 😍

[@SoCraftastic]

Thank you for watching! 😊

[@P4u2a-L0uisa]

[@cesarmendez8573]

Muy bien grasias por la enseńanza.felicidades.

[@chronischgeheilt]

I am sick and struggling also mentally... and seeing a new video of yours somehow comforted me. :)🌻

[@cheriemccall189]

You did a great job, i love the fish. I wonder how a tree of life design would turn out. My Son showed me how to do this and we had great fun and got to spend some much needed time together. The Grandson also joined in. You are a sweet lady and i enjoyed the Video.

[@AurorasArtWorld]

That technique is way time consuming but the outcome is FABULOUS!!! 💖 💖 💖

[@trevorwiens8328]

That was awesome! I just did my first burn with a tiger torch (pallet shelf) b4 I watched your vid. I wasn’t sure about sanding, I used a scotch bright on a spot, don’t really like it, so I’m doing it like you said, you can leave it. Also you asked about staining, my mother had this old round table, she used Cooking Oil on paper towel once a month, looked great. Thanks for the tips, much appreciated.

[@navyboymommygramma]

This totally brought back memories of childhood, yeah we all did this stuff as a family back in the 70s. 😊

[@mcintyredeanna]

I realize I'm 2 years late to this video but if you haven't explored it yet, you can make your own fantastically beautiful stains with vinegar and metal (steel wool, nails, etc.). I use my own in my projects and adore the outcomes. These projects are so much fun to watch! Way to explore!

[@mjpete27]

You are becoming a very good wood craftsman er crafts person! The best advice is simply create more! And sand sand sand! Lovely video, we enjoy watching you work. Really enjoying the wood-burning too. so thanks!

[@Coquijim]

I really enjoyed your video. The best one yet for beginners like me. I just got a Leviton micro torch, got free pine and can’t wait to start. TFS

[@maira1162]

Luv you girl , can you test cheep vs expensive wood burning tools .

[@SoCraftastic]

Great idea, Maira! After I get a better wood burning tool I would love to compare it to my current one. Thank you for watching!

[@matthewwaynearts]

Well done. Try using Keda Dye, you can make your own stain colors using the powders. You can pick it up on Amazon. It worked really well for a project I just finished, plan on using it more often now.

[@theTrend7]

This video is PERFECT! I was wondering if I could use a smaller burner to do this technique. Thank You for this video!!!

[@dreaddinit1075]

If it helps the water based minwax stain does really well. Did a pallet table with this method and a turquoise stain. Came out great.

[@MakeSomething]

Awesome! More wood projects! 😁

[@dawncarter5071]

Love the look!

[@wendyodell356]

Cute fish 💘 He's so adorable! Sending lots of love and God bless you and Craig ❤ XOXO

[@katekatherine1250]

your vids are the best!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@anastasiafouska8753]

Hey Socraftastis I used to watch you alot a long time ago and wanted to see how your channel has evolved. I was surprised to how little you have change and how big you have become! Keep up the great work xxx -An old subscriber

[@Gantorin]

I needto tell you... I do not need to click the bell for you videos... I seek them out... and the less my phone dings the better. lol You are on my acrive search radar. Keep up the awesome job... It doesn't have to be a great Earth sjaking video for me... you are just fun to watch in your growth in art. Awesome job!

[@lesliemctavish4300]

This is very helpful. I think if I used these techniques I could make expensive looking items

[@maggie5134]

That blue is the color of my room! Same paint brand too!

[@juliamckenzie1711]

EvanAndKatelyn do I really cool project with this style too!

[@josephromero1596]

Recently discovered “Old Masters” Gel stain….. best ever , looks amazing, goes a very long way and no mess

[@misstricksmix]

Amazing technique !!

[@TravisInCanada1]

Cool projects, you could also try a spray lacquer to seal the wood burned finish. I would imagine the spray would be fine to use over the stain sooner as it wouldn't be disrupting the surface of the wood (?)

[@Gantorin]

I love wood working, and love to see you take that step. Am I a pro... nope! I did also see Evan & Katelyn do this as well. As much as I am so into the Japanese or 日本 at the moment... I do not see me using this art method yet.... yet... lol I watched the first upload, but why not watch the second as well... Do you plan to try this method in other ways? I also love my ban saw and I so need to buy a scroll saw... I am on of those power tool junkies... lol

[@user-nz7fs2jl3z]

I haven't watched the full video yet, but I think you deserve WAY more subscribers for all your hardworking!! Love you and your channel 💕

[@SoCraftastic]

Thank you so much! 💗 I'm really happy to hear you enjoy my videos!

[@ren7171]

I’ve been watching your channel since 2011 and you have inspired me so much, especially with polymer clay diys like the clay pig video so thank you ☺️☺️

[@aubrey3034]

Yay 😁 wood burning

[@SoCraftastic]

I'm glad to hear this! Thank you for watching. 😄

[@whisperwild]

I love your video... just want to share, as an artist who has done this... slow sweeping strokes with the flame gets an even burn over the bobbing motion you were doing. Like spray painting... it will eliminate the "char, brush, sand" steps... in my experience and opinion. Rock on with the art... every taste is different. .. but always valuable .

[@joejacomo5158]

Get a weed killing torch or the ones with the long 3 foot pole on it and not only will you get wayyyy more flame to cover more wood faster but also you won't hurt your back bending over all the time.?.home depot sells one for 20 something bucks by Magtorch called the outdoor torch, not sponsored I just remember using the same torch as you and remember how much my interest grew when upgraded the torch so just MY opinion, good luck! Also I have been burning and using stains and poly with inconsistent results but I tried the wood dye today for the first time mixing it with my finish and wow...went from burnt wood that kind of had color faded on it to a popping super bright barn red sugi glossy poly amazing piece of wood. Sorry so long but u hope this helps ::) thanks for your awesome video this was my first time but not gonna be my last

[@josephromero1596]

Very nice work 😎

[@CraftnCreations]

LOVE YOUR WORK 😍😍😍

[@SoCraftastic]

THANK YOU!! 😄💗

[@anariamartinez4750]

I love this

[@shabbycrafter]

That is very cool! It looks like a lot of work.... I’m impressed with your dedication. They turned out so pretty, especially with the polyurethane. Oh... and the fish is adorable!💗💕🐠💕💕

[@SoCraftastic]

It definitely was a lot of work but so worth it! Thank you for watching. I'm glad you like the art piece. 💙🐠

[@theturtle5802]

I love the fish 😊

[@sylviacrafts6704]

That looks like a dolphin and who doesn't love dolphins?😌🐬 I love dophins and you did an amazing job for your first time, did you attach all three together, it would look fantastic if you did so you can hang it up in your patio.☺️✌🏽💙

[@kennymartin379]

Great job

[@JoshNoss]

I'm doing a few 16' pieces of 2x4" KD Fir.. want to get a torch head that made a wider flame as using a pencil torch on that size wood is gonna take lots of time. I'm actually considering just making a small wood fire outside and holding the wood over it. You want to get Nyalox drill brushes or a purpose made wire brush sander

[@katekatherine1250]

I love your Videos❤️❤️❤️

[@fixit4182]

So interesting.

[@SueAnderson11]

I absolutely love watching your videos, so please don't take this as a criticism toward you... but, to me, this process seems so very labor intensive... for what you end up with. Could you maybe just start a small campfire in your yard and scorch several pieces at once? -- Just a thought. -- AGAIN... YOU did a great job! ~Hugs!

[@bellaguinnane3495]

your jeans are so cute!!!

[@SaIrAbEe.]

Wow 😮 You are so Genius.

[@mikemarino5335]

Try unicorn spit wood colored stain. Trust me it looks amazing and makes the burn look 3D

[@warmswimmer8045]

as someone who's dad woodburns, i could smell this video.

[@susanvarleyart2095]

We use a clear wax for wood On our table tops ect. It brings depth out of the grain. I don't like varnish very much. We use it on antique wood furniture. You can get coloured wax as well apply the wax leave it a few minutes then buff it up with a cloth.

[@kaitlyn7521]

I feel like I definitely watched this video already days ago lol, am I losing it?

[@merel7777]

Kaitlyn No, I am most certain I’ve seen it too! or we are both losing it 😹

[@SoCraftastic]

Haha. No, you're not losing it! I explained on my social media pages as to why I deleted & reuploaded. Basically, I waited to upload too late in the day on Saturday & KZbin wasn't pushing it very much. I thought it would hopefully perform better today. Thank you for coming to watch... again! :)

[@kaitlyn7521]

SoCraftastic ahh I see! Makes total sense :) just wanted to make sure I wasn’t in the twilight zone lol

[@kayleedickson4363]

I wish I knew you in person your the best

[@SoCraftastic]

That'd be so fun to hang out! Thank you for watching! ^-^

[@anneloder5898]

A stain will not rub off it a stain. It looks pretty with the clear poly on it

[@callmemichi0302]

Love your videos ♡

[@danwheatly9719]

Try unicorn spit. It's a great stain in a lot of great colors

[@bobhill2821]

a cheep chefs torch would be ok fir small projects if your looking for a cheep upgrade from a hot iron

[@singingwitharts7564]

Nice👍

[@alexablue287]

yay yay yay!!

[@MysticAngel722]

If you leave your project at 4:29 and don't go any further, you will have the perfect walls for your haunted house on halloween! The burn knotholes would make awesome "creepy eyeballs" .

[@oliviahenson2830]

Try using a silhouette machine with stained wood to make wall art with quotes and other fun stuff.

[@mist4926]

for more even burn go full end to end sweep with torch. adding water will raise the wood better to use tack cloth

[@gregoriorafaelfernandezmun8375]

Hola.....Que le pones a la madera antes del soplete .....por favor ... Gracias ....y saludos desde México....

[@alejandra_perez]

love it!! i always wanted to do this!! xo

[@nancylacivita6494]

This is a great video! Product links??

[@penguinwrangler1012]

You can get torch heads that will allow you to hold it upside down. Your torch pretty much suffocates the flame with the fuel, no oxygen no flame.

[@lynzvaile]

This video was uploaded days ago.???

[@aliciamunoz3673]

Yay I am early love you Sarah ❤️❤️❤️

[@SoCraftastic]

Thank you for watching, Alicia! 💗

[@SweetPea112]

Interesting, but not my favorite process. I loved your finished item, though.

[@lamakhaled1406]

i watch this video before 4 dayes ⌚📹

[@carrieann0305]

When you stain maybe try using a cloth like a piece of an old t shirt and then wipe off because using a cloth will get into the grain easier

[@audreybell19]

I watch this video already

[@joeycasey2323]

Unicorn Spit!!!

[@lexier3014]

You make me want to try this

[@SoCraftastic]

It's a process, but it's worth the effort! I hope you enjoy if you try. And, thank you for watching!

[@lexier3014]

@@SoCraftastic yeah! You are my favorite craft channel and you have inspired me to start drawing and painting again after I stopped for a few years due to a wrist injury. You make doing art fun again for me and you have also made me realize that art is not just painting and drawing but so much more! Thank you!

[@Savage-ij1gw]

Ur amazing!

[@SoCraftastic]

Thank you for watching!

[@montemac00]

I was all In with the experimentation and playfulness. But I really wanted to see how the fish woodie turned out

[@lpssugarwolf7675]

Next can u do wood carving

[@sodiqstark]

The pieces of wood that u dont want to use you should hang it up on a wall one above the other🇿🇦✌🐾, like how stores are selling and after u sealed it, use some letter stickers that can peal off easily to write anything you want and you can change it😎😊🤯

[@stararts_official4369]

You have to use a Flex with brushes. That is much easier.

[@maira1162]

Do you use mod podge at the end

[@SoCraftastic]

It's called polyurethane, which is another form of top-coat / varnish. Similar to Mod Podge.

[@maira1162]

Why did you wet the wood ??

[@josephromero1596]

FYI we hand sanded w a block - sander even w a 320 grain will remove too much

[@taylorinman800]

I like the fish it looks like a swordfish but personally it reminded me more of a niffler from fantastic beasts and crimes of groundless.

[@dianethoroughman9541]

So what will you do with your wood pieces? Make shelves of them hanging on the wall? Or something else?

[@DylansDIYWorkshop]

holy moly you subbed to me lol. Thank you :)

[@dylanstephenson5935]

Would it look better if you stained it then burned it? Trying to get darker blacks and keep the bright red

[@SoCraftastic]

In theory, yes. Probably. But, burning stained / painted / treated wood is not recommended because of the toxic fumes that would be released.

[@dylanstephenson5935]

SoCraftastic thank you for a speedy response, love how informative your videos are!

[@abstrusenous5914]

Why do you rinse the wood after brushing?

[@whitewave1480]

Just buy some paint from home depot that is for the out side of the home, it comes in many colors and then pally over it after it drys.

[@c.m.cunningham1175]

When burning go from edge to edge for more uniformed burn.

[@wondergirl2642]

yaya

[@Sylphinator]

you should have pickled the wood with the paint instead of fully painting it, would have been better for what you were looking for i think =)
