Tried my hand at my first one. I didn’t have any of your stains, but it came out very well still. The texturing from the burn never captures how amazing it actually is. Really takes seeing it in real life to fully appreciate. I used a weed torch. Shelf fell down so I took the opportunity to sand it, remove the hardware (hooks, hanging brackets) and redid it. It’s looks 10 times better. 💪 love your vids man

Do you ever fill in the textured surface with a clear filling (epoxy?) to keep the colors but maintain a smooth texture-less surface? I have a door that I have torched and want it to be smooth again and am curious if you have any suggestions for filling the surface while maintaining the burn patterns.. Also, (side note) I use an air compressor to blow off excess dust then do a light wipe with a damp cloth.

It's a nice material but it somehow lacks character, since it's pretty uniform, and I wonder if a shou shugi ban-inspired treatment would make it more interesting. Do you think you could make a test?

Going to use on 1/4" T&G Knotty Cedar (Entablondo) for van ceiling so keeping as simple as possible. Saw video using a tangerine stain(or dye?)on pine giving a tigerish tone with the blacks really popping that I liked. What stain or dye would you advise for antural to honeyish look. Interior van is beige.?. I like the color of the shelf behind you Thanks for great tutorials. Should I use a nylon or wire wheel brush with the drill or by hand

@BuildDadBuild 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks, Paul! I think that was Bulliet Bourbon. The shelves behind me are pine with a surface burn, no finish. For the interior of a van I'd use a wood oil (something like Simple Finish by Maker Brand Co) to give it that warmth. If you want to dye it to change the color, look into Keda Wood Dyes (you can mix what ever color you want with them). And the you can hand brush or use the drill attachment. The drill attachment just saves so much time! Cheers!

Okay cool so I should sand it burn it with my torch and then it's ready to stain no more sanding after I burn it with the torch

@Konst_Abel Жыл бұрын

Can anybody advise me on how to get this result without a torch? Can I get the same result from using natural fire? My biggest concern with using natural fire is that it doesn't have a directional thrust, if that makes sense. You can direct a torch because of the gas pressure which you don't have with natural fire. Any tips?

Great video content and commentary. I am planning to make an american flag similar to what I can see in the background ~10 min. Got any tips for that? Specifically, should I burn the wood before I glue the different sections together?

Did I see a video of you using a restorer for digging out the char? Do you recommend a certain restorer for Shou Sugi ban?

You did. I recently picked on up. This is the one that was recommended to me. amzn.to/37Je0rF So far, no complaints! Cheers

quick question does the soft wood need to be plained and smooth first or just go at it naturally

@BuildDadBuild 3 жыл бұрын

If you're going for a deep burn just go to town. The fire will create a texture and the nylon brushes smooth it out. Cheers

How would you handle charring a 4'x8' plywood?

@BuildDadBuild 2 жыл бұрын

Light surface burn. Too hot / deep will burn through the top layer of ply and can even cause the glue between plys to bubble. Cheers

What about structural plywood? Have you tried it? Will it work?

@BuildDadBuild 3 ай бұрын

You can do a light burn. But deeper burns will burn through the face ply.

Ok! You’re stuff in fantastic! I want to do this treatment on a big project-the railing around my pool deck. I live on a canal in Florida. Should I start with marine treated wood? Can that be safely burned? Or does burning and sealing serve the same purpose as marine treatment? Thank you for great content!

If you are referring to the timber which has a green appearance, it won't work. The chemicals used to treat the lumber turns ii into a "wooden brick". I use a few of them as a base when I burn. Use a good pine and follow up with a stain or water sealant.

@BuildDadBuild 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Diane! Terry's correct. And it will release those chemicals into the air. You'd be better off with untreated wood with a good solid topcoat! Cheers

Don’t oil before staining.

@@BuildDadBuild I agree, but what exactly did you apply to the wood before you stained?
