HOW DOES THE WOOD CHARRING PROCESS WORK?
The charring process involves burning wood in a controlled manner at high temperature. This creates a carbon layer that penetrates deep into the wood. This layer naturally protects against rot, insects, and UV. After charring, the wood is brushed and optionally oiled depending on the desired finish.
WHICH TECHNIQUES ARE USED FOR YAKISUGI?
We use the traditional controlled charring method where wood is burned at high temperature. After charring, the wood is brushed to remove excess soot and create the desired texture. Depending on the finish, we then apply natural oil to protect and enhance the color.
HOW DOES THE WOOD CHARRING PROCESS WORK?
Charring happens in several steps: first, the wood is burned in a controlled manner until a deep carbon layer forms. Then, the fire is extinguished and the wood cooled. After cooling, the wood is brushed to remove excess soot and create the characteristic texture. Finally, the wood is optionally oiled for finishing.
