Been marathon watching your videos. So good. No loud music, no drama, just wonderfully well spoken and very good at instructing. Very straight forward, appreciate your help so much!

Im so glad I learned your techniques first! I cannot stress enough how much the texture added to the whole effect! Thank you!

Your attention to detail when it comes to breaking down the process is unbelievable, thanks a lot for the information, and your pieces are just gorgeous!! Can't wait to learn more.

Thanks for the in depth helpful video, I have used the burn method on different projects, but you videos have opened up an entirely new world for me. I can now add this to the furniture I make, have another option for my clients. Thank you Jodi

It is really CLEAR VOICE and GUIDANCE!. Well done! Thanks for sharing.

Awesome!! An excellent teacher makes and excellent student. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Thanks a lot . We're good job. Respect from Russia

Great descriptions!!!!!! You’re a natural teacher. TY

Ordered the 3 pack of flap brushes. Great video exactly what I needed.

Thankyou so much for these videos. I did the wood bed floor for my 1953 Chevy C.O.E. These videos have been so informative and helped me get a beautiful end result.

Awesome job man!! Looking forward to trying it for myself. Thanks 🙌🏼

Thank you for the info! After testing out the brushes I found that I liked the the big wire brush because of the marks it leaves!

Who would have thought that a video about brushes would have been so useful - thanks for sharing!

Thank for real in-depth, great tutorial video. I’ve watched hours of video but this was the most in-depth.

Talk about timing. I started following you yesterday! Can't wait for the coloring as I am prepping for a custom ordered purple clock. You're giving me all kinds of ideas!

I bow at your superior abilities on this. I am just starting on shou sugi ban, but I am very aware of the benefits. The looks are a bonus, and you got that nailed. Thanks for the video.

Great instructive video. Thanks for taking the time to inform us!

Wow! The wood looks incredible beautiful...Excellent ideas for my projects. Thank You for sharing!!

This is great man. Exactly what I was looking for. THANX.

I learned a little about this in junior high school when we made a duck letter holder... uhm that was along time ago. Haven’t tried it since. Now, you are taking me to a whole new level. I want to get into my shop and create! Thanks for sharing your craft. More importantly, thanks for reminding me to wear pants!

I was looking into different styles for a table I'm going to be building, and fell in love with this one. Your videos are extremely helpful and you explain everything so well. Definitely going to employ your techniques!

I am somewhat of a tool nut and I am shocked that I have never heard of a restorer. Looks like a game changer. Thanks for your videos!

Never seen anything like this. Great Video.

I just started doing shou sugi ban and I just wanna say thanks for making this video. After watching it I bought a wide kitchen/bath brush to remove the char and it works so much better and faster than the copper or brass brushee.

Thanks brother. Gonna do my first batch of shelves tomorrow. All finished wood and disassembled, ready for the burn. Good clear video, you're a good teacher.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience. Very helpful. Keep up the amazing work 🤘🏼

Love your videos. Very informative and has changed the way my projects are turning out. I make a lot of my stains out acrylic paint and your videos helped a lot with that as well. And your pieces on Instagram are amazing !!!

I am so happy I found your videos! I've never taken any woodworking classes, but I have played around with making a grill table with stain and different woods as well as adding leftover ceramic tiles for the top. I'm going to get started trying this technique out for a garden bench. You break everything down so well that I know I can do this too. Keep up the great work! :)

Really fabulous! I learned all this info on my own and it took me trial and error. You sum it up in 4 great videos. Also learned a thing or two this time around as well. Thank you!

Great video. I like the no BS style. Looking forward to the coloring part.

Absolutely beautiful I would love to try this thank you for teaching your techniques ❤😊

awesome series. amazing info. thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge. greetings from Cape Town, South Africa

fantastic vid your work is professional in every way thankyou

First time I've heard about that brush technic. Really great video, keep doing. Thanks

Thanks for being detailed in your description not everyone has wood working experience and it might save some trial and error for me

Thank you so much. You save my time. Very helpful tutorial !

Wonderful description and demo!

Cant wait to get started

Thank for your video this really help me understanding more of the contrast about shou sugi ban. Keep up

Appreciate your knowledge on colouring Yakisugi wood

What a fantastic video! I might now I have a use for all this construction Pine! Fantastic tutorial.

Thanx alot for going deeper into details

You are the best at explaining all the techniques. I am hooked.

Thank you for these videos. I'm learning so much from you

This is really interesting material. I appreciate the effort you put into providing it. Many thanks!

Just discovered these excellent informative videos which are infinitely superior to others I have seen. Good level of detail, especially in the beginning with good advice on choosing wood. Thanks

Your video and tool recommendation guided me perfectly to a sick guitar finish. Thanks MAN!

This is what you call a TRUE tutorial. Very thorough work; this gentleman goes through ALL possibilities. It's the best video I've seen so far, and I don't think I'm going any further. I live in Brittany, France, and I have a project in my sitting room in my two-hundred year old farmhouse. This has helped me a lot. Thanks a million. Take care, and all the best from France. Au revoir.

What a great comment! Thanks so much for that. I would love to see a 200 year-old farmhouse. That sounds amazing!

I am just getting into this style and i love it! I saw this technique years ago and have been wanting to try it in my art pieces. Working with driftwood right now. Your videos have saved me a world of annoyance of trial and error! Ty:) great content! Where i live i cant get these brushes so ty for posting Amazon links!

Over the past few years I have done a lot of shou sugi ban furniture, I use the wheels a lot but most of the time I like to strip back the charcoal with those stainless steel scouring pads they use in restaurant kitchens, they cut back the charcoal fairly quickly and I use an industrial vac to keep the job clear. Other grades of steel wool are useful but they break up a lot and leave bits of wool all over the place whereas the scourers don't so much.

Wow, awesome explanation! Thank's a lot, man

Way cool brother. Gratitude.

So I’m new to woodworking, I’ve worked construction fields for my entire life so I’m good with various tools and cuts, what I’m not good with is all the burning and staining techniques. You’ve been one of the best pages I’ve used to learn from. Thank you for the help! All I could say to you, as far as commentary would be this; show some full techniques in a single video rather then multiple, my battery isn’t large enough lol

I made a pallet table today with your techniques. Thank you!!

Very well presented in every respect thanks for taking the timeout to share all the best.

The Makita I used ages ago kicked ass! We called it the hedgehog. It ploughed through the endgrain to scallop the ends of big green oak beams and purlins that had been roughed out with a very big circular saw in a jig. It's a beast. Can stroke the cat with it or turn bandsawn dry oak boards into textured,even driftwood level weathering to the grain and not too much scratching with the nylon drum.

Very intriguing to learn Thank You!!

Thanks for sharing. Great detail! Will keep on watching 👍

Good work using sugi 😊Greeting from Japan🇯🇵

I loved that, I'll definitely look at your other video's, you are a great teacher

Fantastic Video, thank you for sharing.

I found a regular wheel rather than a flap wheel worked best for me. I was doing a `12' long bench and the flap wheel went far too slow. It did increase dig marks, especially in wide areas but going over them with sandpaper was much faster than waiting on the flap wheel. It also holds up a great deal longer.

Thanks Jodi for going through your process. I’ve done some shou sugi ban finishing but the result is always dark brown (using a deck brush). I guess it’s pretty common sense but I’ve never thought to really scrub the heck out of it to dig down into the char wood to expose the light wood. This is opening a whole new world for me.

Thanks for video. Really helpfull. Would you ever sand after brushing, to get a smoother surface, or would sanding with a fine grain, still ruin the goodlooking burned grains? Thanks

You’re a really good teacher.

Good work. I like your attitude, and your example driven approach to explaining the tools and techniques. If I worked for a tool maker I'd want to pay you for those demos. If I were in a different tax bracket, I'd be a patreon. Very honest, no bad mouthing of tools, no unnecessary kudos either. Just what it is, what it does, and WHY. I don't know why so many people miss the why. The why creates better craftsmen, as we now know how to think later instead of just being mimicking memorizers.

Cool... Thanks for taking the time to post

You had me at “It’s probably a good idea to always wear pants.” Love watching your videos! Keep up the great work!

You have introduced me into a new world of woodcraft. Thank you and your detailed explanations are superb! Start a wood class on the side sir as you are a great instructor!

This is so cool. Awesome work.

That was a lovely demo and thank you for no music (oh joy!). I loved the gradation of color on the sample. My technique is to use an angle grinder with a crimped wire cup brush on raw wood to scrape out the texture, then lightly toast it. However, if I use the Shou Sugi Ban method, the wood gets a warm tone all over. Adding a color stain makes it so beautiful. I want to use this technique on a wood frame for some Japanese prints. Thank you.

Thanks brother; I’m actually gonna go after some of my practice dovetail boxes with this. I’m thinking it may be a great way to turn some otherwise blah looking pieces I only built in pine in order to get some reps in on my dovetail, hand routed slots, lid trimming, and hand toting mortise hinges... it may be just the trick to turn my cheap practice reps into decent gifts/better looking storage. I’ll DM you a few before and afters and maybe it’ll prove to be a good suggestion for you to use going forward... all us noobs have our lineup of firsts for every joint we’ve cut; I’m sure you still have yours. Why not combine the “practice” -B

Man your videos are just great thank you you are giving me great ideas and this video gave me ideas on how to finish my shop cabinets

This is super cool. Just tried it out with my 9 yo son and it's super cool. We're gonna make a lot of cool projects together. Thanks for making videos like this. COVID has had us messing around with different hobbies and we're making small furniture together.

Great vids I just learned today! Thanks

Love the outcome. If you do less of a char, you do not have to scrape away as much, and the results are the same. You really want to get a char on the grain and set the contrast. A light char will do this very well. Then just apply your color, wipe , and apply your finish.

Thanks for the informative videos. I am just starting with this technique and found that an unused BBQ brush works very well.

Thank you for all the advice and information. Definitely going to subscribe. Keep up the videos!
