I'm like 40 seconds into this video and I like this channel already.

It’s actually called “ Yakisugi” Shou Sugi ban” is an westerners misunderstanding and the tradition Japanese carpenters wouldn’t understand what we meant. Yaki sugi means literally burnt Cyprus and doesn’t apply to other woods Thanks for the video

I already used this method in a house we built in Alentejo and it really took us a lot of time. Next time I will do a charring station like you did. Great idea!

Good idea, I would imagine quite a bit cheaper then using a torch.

Thank you guys!

Awesome! Very interesting.

Great video I will definitely try this. Thanks

Thank you

thanks for sharing. I will give it a go!

Thanks everyone, great video👍😁

Great video! Thank you so much for sharing.

super cool guys, thanks for sharing

Such a great job over there !!

Ya, great video!!!

I made smaller station for my fence and it's awesome idea :). Thx guys

I will try it ! Tank's!!!

Your treatment for wood is excellent

Great presentation! I have been thinking about doing something similar for a while, feeling inspired!

Great! I used the gas torch up until now, but when the next big batch is up for charring, I'll definitely try this out! Nice work!

this would be a great thing for me. I have one thing that is always hard to understand about a lot of outdoor wood burning mechanisms like chimneys and stoves: Everyone has way smaller wood than we do where I live! The wood used in all videos is the size we use for kindling to start a fire ! Trees must be way bigger where I live!🤔 Thank You for this video! Looking for smart easy way to do raised before garden using all natural materials!

Actually, there are Viking homes / forts that have been found that uses this Burning Technique. Pretty cool! Great video guys and Thank you! - Ken in Hawaii

Good job! I use Shou Sugi Ban for everything I build on my farm. But I have always used a torch. I'll try your chimney!

Felicitaciones y gracias. Me han ayudado a resolver un problema. Adelante con sus buenos proyectos, desde Montevideo, Uruguay , muchos saludos.

First video I watch in your channel, the information and the presentation is top notch, very well researched. Subscribed!

I'm researching about charing wood technique for a few days. I'm thankfull for youtube recomend your video to me. Great material, explanation and ur comments. It does really help me to make my mind. Thank you guys!

This is literally the best video on shou sugi ban, I literally was wondering how to do it without a torch! Amazing, thanks so much for sharing the knowledge!

sounds like i will be applying this to exterior chord wood ends for chord wall construction. resistance to exterior invaders is the one concern of that style construction. since the wood is grounded in slake lime and sand putty, end entry is the only attack point. now that concern is gone.

Proper name is Yakisugi.

Muy buen video y precisamente lo que estaba buscando, estoy haciendo la fachada de la casa con madera acertada por nosotros mismos, con el rocket stove no se deforma la madera? He hecho algunos trabajos con gas y tiende a deformarse, cual es su experiencia. Muchas gracias y éxitos.

Pretty great but I’m very surprised about how long it takes..

Sir , at 11:50 your fly appears to be open . Just sayin .. cool wood

I'm curios, which of both technics prevents the wood from sagging?

Hi. thank you for the video. i developed a technic, where you only need 6 minutes for three solid boards in size 2500x190x28 to charr. this would safe you a lot of time, if you say that it takes more than 20 min to charr one board. all the best!

Hi, very good idea. I think to do something like this to protect wood for my future workshop. I want to know if it is possible to burn plank vertically instead of horizontally like you ? This can be easier to burn large plank ?

I did the same 2 years ago it's totally faded not dark anymore uv rays killd the color what can you use to seal it from further sun damage? Thank you

woul this work with bamboo?

Really hard to get bricks here. Any possible substitutes? WOuld plain old cement do? Also, you mention you make it narrower at the top. None of the other rocket stove vids I've seen do this. Care to explain?

What type of oil did you use?

hello, does anyone know the name of the bricks used for the base with the cavities?

Is this method good for Pinewood?

Fica melhor ainda se usarem uma lixa antes do óleo de linhaça pois os cristais entram nos poros fechando-os, ou seja menos óleo de linhaça, mais proteção total e dura mais, abraço e bons projectos😊

Thank you! Greetings from Carcavelos, in Portugal. Just one note: it should be called properly yakisugi the true Japanese term. Shou sugi ban is incorrect.

How can I get in touch with you directly sir

It's a cool charring station. However, a 20-pound can of propane lasts a very long time when using a weed-burning torch. Charring a board is very quick. Not sure why it took you 29 minutes with the torch. I also think the amount of wood you burn would be larger than with clean-burning propane. Good luck!

ofcourse everything is either japanese or western, ofcourse.

What?!? you don't know the value of oiling wood after burning!!! Oiling is a very important step to waterproof the wood. NEVER SKIP OILING!!! & never wipe with water, just brush/sand it!!! What is wrong with you people!!!Seriously, do your bloody research!!! If not for the oven idea, I would have dislike this. OIL IS TO PROTECT THE WOOD FROM ROTTING/DECOMPOSITION. When wood is burned, it becomes bone dry which gives it the pest repellant property but it also makes it like a dry sponge that can absorb water when it rain & turn all your hard work into a rotten mess. Oil then gives the wood a water repellent seal & since it is like a dry sponge, the oil can sip deeper making it water resistant internally as well. Nowadays, Japanese use some sort of chemicals vanish (think it's Japanese brand though video has English sub) to also create a much shiny finish similar to western finish.

Japanese would call it Yaki Sugi.

not convinzing😅

Ricarda i have a crush on you.

Please change your commentary to reflect the correct name..!!!. "Shou sugi ban"...is a made up word from "Westerns" trying to sell and market their siding products. 焼杉 (Yakisugi) and the related methods actually started in the Nile valley many thousands of years ago, and then spread and/or developed elsewhere in Asia...Like Japan where its been in practice a lot longer than just the 19th century. If you wish to really understand (and then teach others!!!) these traditional methods, please learn some of the language and do your research in those orgin languages...not just repeat what others "think" they know of the topic or try to interpret what you watch in other videos... There is way too much poor information getting "taught" out on youtube by folks that have little to no real experience in certain methods, nor are these methods from traditional practitioners. Teaching from assumption of understanding is really not doing the crafts and traditions any great service. Without that training and deeper understanding should someone go out and teach others, when they themselves are still learning themselves? If you do insists on making videos like this, to show a method, like you are doing in this video...PLEASE...validate that you are only experimenting yourself and have never been taught the methods directly from an Elder and/or native practitioner...
