- In this video I go over the two more popular ways to get a shou sugi ban or charred wood finish. One requires a little more steps, but they both have very different looks. Links to everything I used today are just below!

What are your thoughts? Hard way or easy way? Maybe a time and place for both?
A lot of times I do short pieces because I use them for collage type art pieces. Sometimes I make long runs and then cut them up into the pieces I need too. Just for production's sake. I've never done a jewelry box though.
Great job showing the contrast between the two techniques.
For me the long way produces a "proper" finish while the short method produces a faux-finish. It looks good from a distance or at a glance, but not close up. Not that a faux-finish is necessarily bad, sometimes it's what's called for.
You covered that issue really well. Either way is fine, that's the nature of all art 🎨 in general. Personally I think I'd take the extra time and brush technique. Again, nice video
Like you said, it's all about what someone is looking for. I prefer the hard burn and brush style over the simple one, but I like to see that deeper texture..
I prefer the textured look. If I’m making a shadow box or a frame for something I used the textured look on then I usually just do the none texture on the frame so it doesn’t take away from what I’m displaying. Did I say that right?
I only did any of my work using “ surface burn”, until I watched how you did it big guy. I’ll go ahead and say it for you. Your way produces works of art, and is far superior to anyone, who has actually seen a true, textured piece. You do beautiful work my friend. Keep it up!
The "char and brush" process definitely leaves you with richer looking result. More texture and contrast.
I think it would be a cool effect to exterior furniture
Agree, but I like the low contrast look better. There is no right or wrong, just preference.
Full burn is way more beautiful, however, sometimes you may be seeking a smoother surface, and the tradeoff is less color variation. This is a very helpful video. Thanks for the very clear explanation!
One IS better. Too many steps?! Unbelievable! There is a CLEAR DIFFERENCE! Your technique was really awesome. In fact I’m gonna use it on a project I’m currently working on.
Thanx! Don’t let arm chair woodworkers get you down!
I think the right way is a richer look. You get people in a big hurry and don't want to commit time in to a project. We live in a "I want it now" world. I like your way and I am going to try and use that technique on a pull out trash bin for the kitchen. My first project ever. Thanks for the tips.
I like your videos, you don’t ramble, you get to the point and aren’t wasting my time. I like your work too.
Well thank you very much for the kind words!
I think what you’re doing is awesome there’s a very clear distinction between the 21 you have a death in the contrast in the other one is just a piece of wood with stain. What I don’t understand is people criticizing other peoples creativity and how they do things clearly yours is one that really makes a statement !! I would purchase your furniture that you make over theirs any day. Stay true to You !!
More work = Better product. I like the contrast of the second one better, I like how the colors pop more. The first one is very muted. I can see value in both methods depending on what the project is. And, it's nice to know different ways of doing things.
Your way shows up way better for me. The contrast is so much better and i love the 3d look
Amazing, worked with wood most of my life and never knew of this technique until now, thanks for showing the differences between both
The charred wood is GORGEOUS!
No, they don't look the same, one is the lazy way and you're way is the correct way to do it. I built a barn looking door for my washer and dryer room and did something similar to your technique and my wife loved it. Thank you for doing this and showing us all how to do it right!
Finally someone who shows and tells the steps AND the how's and why's of most of it. Love ur teaching style
Wow! This video is so informative. It really shows the effects of burning deep and barely burning. I now get the concept of burning.Thank you! And their is a huge difference! Awesome!!
The texture of yours is so much better. It has so much more character and depth.
WELL!!! Thanks a lot. You just made a lot of work for me. LOL. I have looked at so many ideas and experimented with paints for a bookshelf husband made me. Thought I had settled on one till I watched this video. This is so gorgeous.....have to do it.
I see your old green DeWalt radial arm saw and it brings back memories of my Dad's shop. He had two of those permanently mounted in a high bench along the wall. Bearings were so smooth the blade would spin forever. Until one day he had someone _repair_ one and monkeyed it up.
I love how you handled that. You’re a genius!
THANK YOU FOR THE COMPARISON, and Actually there is NO COMPARISON is there? TEXTURE! TEXTURE!! TEXTURE!!! Your way is hands down, no contest, TOTALLY AWSOME!!!
Love it! Your video is super well explained, really good quality, good angles and is not the "ugh... go to the point!" Type of video♡
Very well explained! I'm with you on taking the extra steps to create that textured look. Good job on the video.
I totally think it's worth doing the extra steps. I love the look it achieves.well done!!!👍
Personal opinions are what get us all into trouble. Take information at face value and do what you want. My philosophy. I dig both for different reasons but I am partial to charred, brushed, leave on. Thanks for the video.
Thank you so very much for taking the time to explain the difference, and to show how to achieve both looks. you have saved me a lot of time, and have educated me on both processes. Very much appreciated, cheers
Your way is baby far much better for my taste. Your videos are quite informative and inspiring. Thanks for the time you take to put them together. Very much appreciated.
Great explanation, just started doing this procedure, and have always done the surface burn, but you get so much more texture and character with the char/brush technique. The extra work is worth the time and your eye is on point.
Great vid
The way you do it looks so much better. Way more interesting in finish and colour.
I agree with you! One of those is not like the other. They're two separate techniques that will give you totally different results.
I definitely like your char and brush method the best - the contrast and the "colour-fastness" of the dyes made the piece vibrant and "alive". I can appreciate, though, how some people would prefer the other way if they want a softer, more misty, look for their task at hand.
I really enjoy your view point and how you stand them up and do it fairly in front of us , well as best as the medium allows.
It’s well worth the extra time and effort to create that amazing texture and contrast. The difference, one looks good, the other (charred and brushed) looks amazing. Loved your shou sugi ban tutorial series! Thank you for the knowledge!
I have a spool that I'm turning into a table and have been waiting for the weather to clear to start. I started today and burnt the wood to the char then followed what you did and am loving how it's looking! Thank you for your video!!!
Your videos are quickly becoming some of my favorites! Thanks brother!
I agree with you. The way you did it with the char and brush off looks much nicer than the other way.
Huge difference! The charred one looks so much more…. I don’t even know how to say it. The other style just looks cheaper. Love the look of the charred piece. Worth the extra steps in my opinion!
Totally agree, the hard way is definitely the most beautiful... the texture, the contrast, so phenominal!
I have used both ways and I have way more compliments on your way that I use on the flags I make but it looks sick with the more steps so worth the little more work! You get out of your peace what you put in to it in my book thanks man keep up the good work
I very much appreciated this tutorial and the explanations of both techniques. I am terrified to burn anything but this has inspired me. Great video!
Yours looks so gorgeous, there's so much dimension to all the colors in there.
Very glad I stumbled upon this video.
Each method absolutely produces a different result.
I'm making a reclaimed-wood looking table, and I want the wood to look as if it came from different places, so I'll definitely alternate between both techniques.
Great explanation! It didn't seem like a “rant” to me! I can see valid applications for both and appreciate the time you took to show us.
The full burn is so much brighter and offers more color and design outcome. Thank you for the side by side.
I like both! Technique used depends on the application. Hard method produces a dark char of hard wood and allows the bare soft wood to soak up stain for a nice contrast. Whereas the Easy method only lightly chars the soft wood and the stain only lightly soaks in to the uncharred hard wood and also only lightly soaks in to the lightly charred soft wood, resulting in a color washed appearance (seems to resemble old barn wood that has had a wash applied rather than a stain).
Your technique looks sharp! Has a noticeably higher quality appearance. It really brings out the contrast. And I LOVE the texture created by it! Thanks so much for showing the step by step! 👊
Your method is so much better than the other. You get what you put in... time, care and attention pays off and creates a true piece of art. Skipping steps or cutting corners gives you a product that will never stand up against a job well done.
Just wanted to say thank you for this amazing info. I am loving the samples I just made, and this technique is going to make a few of my DIY projects really stand out!
The Shou Sugi Ban method has a richer look and feel. It will come down to preference though. Thank-you for the videos! They are very helpful.
I am SOOO in love with the burned and brushed piece of wood with the Varathane Vintage Aqua stain! I went out and purchased a torch and the stain 💙
This is super well explained. Im so grateful you shared this! Because I've been wondering how to get this particular look. Very professional video. 👏🏽👏🏽 Thank you for making this!
I started the Shou Sugi Ban method last year and I just love it. Nothing beats the texture that you can get with it. Thank you so much for your very informative videos. They help me a lot in creating a whole bunch of wall art.
I have what I needed for my old electric guitar!!! your way is so much beautiful in my opinion, thank you for this video, well explained, not too saturated with too much information, just right.
I just discovered this method a week ago and your videos are insanely helpful... I agree time and place. I did a pine outdoor table and did a light burn and just used poly and it came out amazing... but for a smaller piece I charred to get the raise grain for staining also looked amazing...
No, you're right! Your way is better. Very helpful, thank you.
I wanted to say thank you for your Shou Sugi Ban series. Mostly, thanks for the info on which brushes you use. That was what really sets it apart from just a steel brush. I made a really cool looking bench with your method. I haven't figured out how you get that subtle coloring you do. Maybe using the wrong product. Anyway, thanks man, my bench is bad ass because of you.
I did my first stab at “your” way this week and the texture and depth I got by brushing off after the char process is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you SO much for your videos and look forward to more ways a noob like me can fake it till I make it 🤘🏼
Hey how do you think I've been getting by all this time? Ha! Thanks so much for watching. I'm really glad you got great results!
Hard way.you are so talented,generous and humble.thank you.from Portugal
Wonderful wood painting. congratulations....
I really like using water based dyes mixed from dry powder. Lots of control of dye density and intensity. Stains are great too. It all depends on the look you desire. In this series I love the dimensionality of the charred wood. Thanks for your tutorials.
Awesome comparison, thanks for doing this.
Your way is waaaay nicer and brings more beauty to the wood
I've never seen this before...so cool and your way is much better looking. It's always what you put into it!
Glad I watched your video and saved myself the time so I get the results I wanted!
Burned and brushed, true Shou sugi ban, looks the best and there's no way you're going to beat the dimensional look you can achieve that way it just brings some much beauty to a piece
Super informative and unbiased. Love the content.
Hoping to make a beautiful dining table for my friend's wedding present and this really helped.
Great video!! I also prefer the scorched and brushed look, it's beautiful and the difference between the two methods, when side by side, is quite dramatic.
I've never seen Shou Sugi Ban before, very cool. I did see something similar with wire wheels on unburned wood, it removed the softer parts and left ridges as well, but I like the burn effect.
Nailed it!!! Thank you for your explanation. I realize now that I was mixing the two techniques without realizing. At times, I am a little heavy handed on my burning. This helped me to understand what might be happening. Great tip
Love the vid! The extra work you're putting into the film making aspect of your videos really shows! Keep it up!
Wow that really means a lot! Thank you for saying that. We've been working our butts off over here!!
I agree that the one on right was best and if you put in the extra effort it shows in your work.
Cheers

I much prefer the barnboard'ish look and feel of 'the hard way'. Beautiful tutorial, I'll be dusting off the old torch for my dresser project ~ thanks to your fine tutelage! 👍👍
Awesome explanation, I didn't know about this technique until now. Thank you!
I look up a lot of stuff on UA-cam. This is a damn fine video. Great knowledge. Straight forward and well spoken. Every person on UA-cam should take this guys lead.
Excellent tutorial, thanks for sharing
I don’t mind putting in the time your way is very artistic, and much better. Your very cool in not taking sides👍🏻
thank you for very detail ideas and I do love the obe on your left handside. Learn something new.
Very cool. I like yours a lot better! Thanks for the fresh new idea, I'm always open to leaning new things. 👍
Great video to show the difference in techniques. The life lesson however is almost as old as time itself. A+ effort, A+ result..... And for those that prefer to save time because they prefer the result, well then I guess you the best of both worlds.
Ooooo I love the one that was charred n brushed better. Colours are omg 😍
I like the charred method. Looks great.
I LOVE 'YOUR' WAY... I see more variation in color and depth. Love it
I think that it’s the texture that matters and absolutely worth the time. The easy one looks half-assed to me.
I was SO Happy to view this!! It's just Amazing what finishes are doing to wood now!! I Love the process & can't wait to use it. Great Artistry, thanks for showing both ways for those not as into the artistic process. I myself am into it & I Love it Best & will be following you for sure. Thank you Very Much for sharing Your Great Talent, & Instruction!!
I am working on a coat rack my Dad made years ago on a single board, i want to use this color on it. (It may be a cherry board, but its going in a Bathroom with Ocean decor.) I'm replacing older/cheaper coat hooks for black fancier hooks. This will be SO Beautiful, if the burn takes the orangish color out, which it should.
Well done comparison.
Thank you!
Great way to explain both methods!
Great video. To the point and well explained. Keep up the good work.
Spot on informed explanation...I'm just about to do 2 different pieces of work one an old cable drum and an old table, this video has made me understand how I can at least try to get the same finish if I dig into the grain or not to gauge my finish.
Spot on dude...🖒
Huge difference. I like the texture.
I think the one that was burnt and then brushed is WAY WAY more awesome! Taking the time, reveals beauty totally worth it to me... The other one is dull and boring... Love your idea! People just are lazy and don't want to work hard for things! LOL
Char and scoop, only way to go. IMO just adding a surface burn for coloration, then staining, looks dreadfully cheap and novice. Great videos by the way bro! I watch'm all!
Much appreciated my friend!!
To be fair, you can light burn and still get texture with brushing, kinda the best of both worlds: a fairly flat surface that still has some textural pop
100% agree. Char and scoop or the long way is the only way to go if you want that true Shou Sugi Ban look. Japanese Shou Sugi Ban is charring the wood down to an alligator skin texture and then brushing it out. For furniture and crafts stopping short of the alligator skin is ideal in many cases but some amount of charring is needed. Many people don't realize the technique actual helps to preserve the wood. I also agree that anything less looks fake or novice and doesn't produce that 3d contrast of colors that really makes the work POP.
Not at all. It made my van conversion one of a kind, and a sheen like no other finish has.

bravissimo, i admire the simplicity and the calm calm of that genteman good work nice from pavlo de grece and thank you
Beatiful projects.Thanks
Great Video!!! Explains the difference very well. 👍
What you put in is what you get out. Yes, I like how your way of doing it, it is a world difference to me. Thank you so much for demonstrating it, that I know what steps should not skip :D
hard way I prefer.. charred wood finish gives much more of a rich look. Thanks again master of awesomeness. Ramble all you want.. great wisdom comes with rambling when it comes to woodworking
Thanks! Very inspirational and clear videos!
Excellent demo
Hard way is obviously more attractive, To my eyeball too. I whole heartedly agree with you. I do think that the one that takes more work has a more luxurious end result. That's the pay off, which in my opinion makes it worth the extra effort
Thanks for the video ... I'm building a wood wall in my home, and I really like the way the deeper charred wood looks. Unfortunately that means more work for me, but it'll definitely be worth it.
love the left one but it's great tutorial to know what's both looks like.
Love this. Not sure but you make me think that you were in the service. If so thank you. I was Womans' Air Force late '70s through the mid-'80s. Anyway, It isn't done till it's black, (goes for hotdogs too, lol). Yes, I say burn it then brush. For me, any craft takes time and effort. Rushing the project isn't putting your best into it. Looks great.
