I've been doing this for a few years now. I use beams 2-3 foot long to make centerpiece candle holders. This is my process. - With the beam upright, I burn following the grain pattern slowly so it stands out when finished. Then I use a clean scrub brush to clean off the surface. When staining, I use either a brush or cloth to apply the stain. Let it sit a few minutes then wipe off the excess stain. I started with polyurethane, but changed to using shellac because it makes the burn and stain really stand out better than the polyurethane. I use the spray shellac because I can spray on multiple coats without sanding between coats. Spray on each coat before it dries. For the final coat I lightly sand with 220 grit and spray on the final coat. If there's any flaws, cracks, knots, I accent instead of taking them out. Thank you for the video. Complete instructions and good information. This is going in my woodworking playlist. I don't use any new wood. All reclaimed, salvage, and sawmill scrap. I integrate old metal, iron and copper into it. I also repurpose things and do power carving. I subscribed.

Does the process effect glue ups after you do it? I’d like to try it, but the first thought I had after watching your video was, wondering if you could make a bunch of precharred/stained pieces, and mix and match the colors in a piece. I figure you would try and avoid stain and charring on the surface intended to be glued, but some will get on it. Would they effect bonding? Which would tell me to char/stain an oversized piece, then cut down to fresh material, then glue it up. What has been your experience?

@UpNorthHandyman

Жыл бұрын

I don't have any experience with shou sugi bam and glue ups, but i like your idea of burning/staining first and the cutting down to size. As long as you wipe off the squeeze out right after you clamp it all together to avoid glue on the stained surface.

I've found that if you are going to brush or nylon brush, you can actually (at least with pine) purposely over char the wood until it creates those blisters and the soft wood will come out ever more making a more defined grain pattern. And while the wire brush does take more work, I've found it's really easy with the wheel to unevenly remove the burn which leaves uneven white spots. And using one of those thick square brushes with a handle on back used for scrubbing grills makes it easier to apply pressure and to remove more char at once than the ones with long handles like you used.

@UpNorthHandyman

3 ай бұрын

Yes I found the same, more burn = more texture. I know what you mean with the uneven spots, though more tiresome by hand more even brush work. Thanks for the tip with the grill brush, didn't think of that!

I did this to create a shiplap Driftwood beach style wall with 1x6 pine tongue n groove boards. I Charred the board’s heavy to get more re depth in the wood after I stripped the char with a 2” wide nylon wheel.( do it outside) with a good mask n goggles ( really sooty).. After whipping it ( twice) to get the soft wood lighter. I brushed on a custom mixed latex paint ( pickling the wood). Then with a wet rag started wiping off the paint- rinsing the rag n ringing it out n whipping it lightly in various area’s to get the grain color’s to pop like weathered wood on a beachfront home. Turned out amazing. A ton of work, but worth it definitely. As long as you keep it fun and when you see the results as you do it - then it’s all fun….

Can this technique be done on western red cedar?

I love using dye stains with scho schugi bon. I usually use the dye with water but dye stain with alcohol works well also. I'll do three or four coats. I will help it dry with a blow dryer. When I'm ready I spray clear lacquer and dry it quickly with a hair dryer, quick hair drying allows it to tack much faster. I spray my piece and quickly tack it with cool air for about 1 minute and then immediately switch to hot air for about 5 minutes. Many times I would use waterproof wood sealer before I spray lacquer and again I would use a blow dryer with both cool and hot air. I found that if you want to add hewes of yellow tone to your torched wood tortch a little more than necessary (not black) and then sand any carbon off your peace. I used 220 Grit. When you add your green color the yellow hewes will become prominent all by themselves.

@@UpNorthHandyman also, I found a video showing various basswood staining techniques, and when he prepped with shellac and white spirits, it brought out the grain texture when he stained it! If I do that first, and then Shou Sugi Ban, perhaps it will work well. I will test on another piece first of course.

I've never stained a guitar, but I've been wanting to do mine for a long time now. How about sanding the finish off?

I used Minwax tintable stain. Check on Amazon for Keda liquid dye. The reviews seem to be good and colors are vibrant.

Forgive me if this question was already answered. Normally, it is recommended to use a pre stain on softwoods to help the stain apply more evenly. Do you still need a pre stain after burning the wood or does the burn make it moot? Thank you.

I've never tried using a prestain when doing this. I like the light and dark contrasts that I get, but would be interested to see the effect of prestain after burning.

Would this work with redundant/leftover unstained hardwood flooring?

Hardwood may have a different result since the grain is a lot different. I would say try it and see what happens!

I wouldn't brush it if you building a deck. I would do a light burn instead.

Can you share the color and brand of the green stain you used? I want to do this for my table on my overland trailer. Thanks.

Check out Keda alcohol liquid dye. I have a video coming up that explains how to use it.

What would happen if you first stain the wood with a simple dye (like vinegaroon) and then burn it? would it make a difference ? I've searched all over but nobody seems to have tried it. On the other hand how do you prevent the planks from warping after being burned? Thanks for the video! great content!

I think that burning the wood wood alter the dye color if you burned after dying. I would do a light burn to try and prevent warping. Thanks!

I tried it on a scrap piece treated with linseed oil and it made wood harder to charr and kinda sparky. I will try with a vinegaroon (when ready), since it is not technically a dye, and see if I can get a darker colour. I will turn to this post and share my opinion if it turns out good@@UpNorthHandyman
