Does the charcoal rub off Shou Sugi Ban timber?

An age old question we get at Mortlock Timber, is does the charcoal layer on Shou Sugi Ban charred timber, rub off - and how can you prevent this?

Jerry explains the basic principles behind our Shou Sugi Ban charred timber and what methods we employ to remove the charcoal rub off, or at least to minimise the effect so you can use Shou Sugi Ban charred timber on your projects.
