Why Would Anyone Even Do This? (@homebody_)

This takes Do-It-Yourself, to a whole new level.
They deliberately burn the planks from the inside, eventually creating one of the most incredible projects I’ve EVER seen.
After carefully separating the burnt planks, they just wash off the excess and split them into pieces perfectly fit for their new workshop cabin.

This technique has been around for a long time.

Must be a new law in California to pre burn new construction

I forget the term but it’s actually is a Japanese technique to waterproof lumber. This was charred to much but a good attempt.

It looks like the cabin survived a fire. Impressive.

From now on he will ask "You smell something burning?"

[williamkwok]

The Japanese have been doing this forever.

Highly resistant to moisture and insects...

Shou sugi ban. Preserves the wood for a long time.

Old stuff, called YAKISUGI in Japan and has been made there for centuries.

“I’ve ever seen” says the AI voice over

[erolfirlayis]

İt's an ancient Japanese technique, i think

[MrThenarsky]

It's called shou sugi ban or sugiban for short. Usually you would wash it off, then cover it in tung oil to finish the treatment.

Build it burn it = identical finishes 🤣

CAN'T DEAL WITH THE LINGERING BURNT SMELL

I'm going to do an outdoor table, this year.😮

This is a century old technique developed by the Japanese.

Treats the wood from insects of all kinds

[joharimohdsalleh]

Japanese used these concepts for a hundred years.

When wood burns, the first part is the methanol burn off. Lignin a large component of wood, breaks down to methanol very easily with heat. After the surface is deeply charred no more methanol is available. This dramatically changes the surfaces ignition temperature to a much higher temperature.
Char is very hard to get to start burning.
