Upcycle project:
Using reclaimed material from a teardown, the wood is then charred with the Japanese preservative method.
Shou-sugiban - Yakisugi (焼杉) is a traditional Japanese method of wood preservation. Yaki means to heat with fire, and sugi is cypress.[1] It is also referred to in the West as burnt timber cladding and also known as Shou Sugi Ban (焼杉板) which uses the same kanji characters but a different pronunciation. The ban character means "plank". -wiki
Holders are then carved and custom fitted to each guitar neck.
