I've done the fractal wood burning but not the type you used here. Going to try it out but start small making candle holders and the like. Really nice work on the benches and video. I think I like the red tone best but...hard to pick a favorite.

Yes so true. I was stuck between my favorite. I was red a first then started leaning towards the grey/blue because of the uniqueness and the patterns on top of the bench. Looks like a wave type of thing. So much fun

I've never seen the staining of this technique. Other than burned lumber, I've never seen this with mine own eyes before. Now that you have shown me this staining technique I'll sure be trying it. If you could balance your van on top of one of these , I'm sure it would hold it for years to come. Years ago we were putting up a building with trusses my grandfather made. A feller with a square body Chevrolet 4x4 drove up and was making fun of the trusses. Pop said the building would hold his truck. After a bunch of BS'sing and bets we put up decking where his tires would sit. The crane operator set his truck up there. The bet was that if it fell thru Pop had to buy the totaled truck , if it healed up Pop got the truck. Pop drove that truck home that evening.

@AMGfinishes

To my knowledge water base is fine but oil stain does a much better job of actually staining the wood and giving it color. Oil will also last longer and more durable. Since this exterior use I went with oil based stain and urethane

Awesome work!! Did you use treated lumber? Just curious because all raw lumber looked flawless

@AMGfinishes

14 сағат бұрын

No I used prime KD. Pressure treated wouldn’t burn that clean and won’t accept the stain as well. It’s getting burned, stained, and coated with urethane. You won’t be needing PT at that point lmao

Can you use pressure treated wood instead for max weather reistance?

@AMGfinishes

9 күн бұрын

I had the same thought. I wouldn’t use PT. Won’t burn well. Won’t accept stain well either. The burning, oil Staining and AT LEAST 2 coats of urethane is more than enough for this bench to last decades. Probably just put a fresh coat of poly every couple years if it starts to weather

I noticed you didn't show the back side, or last pieces attached. Using screws did you fill in the holes afterwards?

@AMGfinishes

20 күн бұрын

The first one I built I just used the same construction screws. Then I filled with wood filler. Definitely visible. Not terribly ugly though. Then I learned on the next ones to use the fine finish screw heads to make the hole as small as possible. Just have to use a longer finish screw (not the 1-1/2) used for other parts of the video. Great question

Honestly this was more work than I originally anticipated. With the furniture market there’s no way you can’t get minimum $300 for a bench (with the torch,stain and urethane) And they’ll last decades unlike new furniture.

I use this technigue and the wire brushing with colored dye for woodwork. I read that shou sugi ban is in fact a mistranslation, but "sugi" means cypress wood specifically. So it's tough to evn call this technique either one tbh.

​@@damiondifranco2967 so "yaki" means "burnt", "grilled" or "roasted" (same "yaki" as in yakitori = grilled chicken skewers, teriyaki = "shiny grilled", etc.). Japanese characters originally were imported from China, and almost all have at least two pronunciations, one of which is the Japanese prounuciation (in this case yaki) and the other the "chinese" one -which you can think of as the original Chinese word spoken as if it were Japanese. In this case the "chinese" reading of yaki is shou - or shāo in mandarin chinese, which is the same character as shu in shumai, steamed dumplings - even though they're steamed and not grilled…. "Sugi" though is the japanese pronunciation of Cedar, and it's very weird to combine both japanese and chinese pronunciations of different characters in the same word. It'd be a bit like mixing up "lift/elevator" and "biscuit/cookies" in the same sentence. And finally "ban" means "board", but again it's the chinese reading whereas the japanese reading would be "ita". So I'm not saying "shou sugi ban" is totally wrong, but the fact that it mixes both pronunciation; and also as far as I know isn't used locally here in Japan, makes me think it should probably be avoided.

@@AMGfinishes shou sugi ban comes from a translation error. nobody in japan calls it "shou sugi ban"

The process of burning wood is really useful. BUT, just burning would does not make it "Shou Sugi Ban". 焼杉板 the literal translation is "Burned Cedar Board". So to be Shou Sugi Ban, it has to be cedar. Otherwise, you're just burning wood for the purpose of preserving it. In Japan if you burn other wood, it's just burned wood. Also your pronunciation of "BAN" (like Band without the D) is incorrect. It's pronounced more like Bon in Bon Voyage. But nice benches. (But please don't call this shou sugi ban for this burning technique. It's like calling grape juice, wine.) Scott from Japan
