You had me at flamethrower! Thank you for sharing all your builds!!
We utilize this technique with small building construction utilizing timber wood. Makes for a nice rustic finished look as well. Can prevent bugs from eating away at the wood, and it is utilized a lot in Japanese traditional architecture, which is where we learned the method. Very cool video!
This bed is pretty much a work of art in my opinion and objectively, the amount of research and time you used in the process of making it is apparent in it's beauty. This looks like a lot of joy!
I love how you always try something new and share your ideas with us. The bed is stunning, can't wait to see it full of plants!
Very concise instructions. You’re a great teacher. I love the new content.
Beautiful! I'd love to see a follow-up video in 1-5 years to see how well it holds up!
Me and Tuck are excited to share that. Especially compared to something like a standard raised bed that hasn’t been sealed.
@@jamesprigioni will this work on pine pallet wood ?
@@davehimlin2374 I would not if its has been chemically treated. Did you see his newer video this month, where he reclaimed a pallet?
Almost time for that 1 year follow up! Can't wait to see it!@@jamesprigioni
What a great video! I love how you break down every step!
Excellent work James! Two years ago when I decided to build raised beds in my vegetable garden I purchased 2 x 10' Southern Yellow pine and then scorched all sides as you did , then coated it with the same product you used. Going in to year three and so far they are holding up well with no fungus growing on the wood and no rot. I really like the look of the charred wood.
We've been doing this in rural areas to protect wood against the elements for quite some years now. The technique I grew up with was putting the wood/stomps/planks directly into a fire - and pay attention!! to ONLY char them and not burn. But blow torches were rare and harder to find (in some areas they still are) - but I can vouch that with proper supervision having a yard fire to do this is fine also. Might not be as uniform, but the effects are virtually the same.

Very nice looking bed. One tip though if you are going for longevity, is that you secured the corner with a screw going into end grain on one of the boards. Screwing into end grain are not that strong, with the flex from heat/cold pressure over time it will really loosen up that screw hole in the end grain. If you added a 2x2 to each corner you could screw through side grain of the outside board, and into the side grain of the 2x2, which is a much better and stronger joint. But I bet it would be sufficient as is, just a tip if you want them even more durable. I do like the char/brush/oil combo that's great.
This is an excellent point that probably even most pros don't always think about. And in hindsight, yes most boards that I can remember "pulling loose" were due to screwing through into an end grain. If adding timbers to inside corners isn't an option then I'd say go extra long and as fat of a course thread that you can achieve if going into end grain. Very insightful and helpful post.
Fabulous tip, thx much.
Also, countersinking the screws will keep everything nice and tidy.
I actually have those type of torches and have heard of this wood burning technique but never would have thought of this. That came out real nice man I may have to replicate this thanks!
Thank you for your always enthusiastic videos, I'm far from Jersey but one day we hope to follow in your footsteps and make a home garden here in sunny Florida.
From fellow Jersey Goomba that relocated to the South.... GREAT VIDEO! Having gone WFPB back in 2015, I got my health & my whole life back. I am now retired and am having a TON of fun gardening with my two young sons. We watch your videos together and are HUGE Tuck fans! It's been a while & would like another Tuck update. Keep up the INCREDIBLE job in sharing your vast knowledge & experience!
You're right, it is beautiful. Thank you for showing all that you did in Detail, very helpful!
Wow! The goth (lol) raised beds look fantastic 😍
On the point of price - The first 4 raised beds I put in are cedar and still look basically brand new after 6+ upper midwest winters. I've slowly added a couple pine ones each year and those are starting to look rough. My point being, ~$300 may seem kinda steep (I'm cheap) , but even my untreated cedar is pushing a decade so I'd imagine cedar after shou sugi ban & that other treatment should last quite a while. That $300 would be relative peanuts, if you can do the up front cost of course. I've been wanting to try this and you made it look so easy but I'm a little too clumsy for a flamthrower sooo maybe not quite yet😅
Looks like there are Cedar picket fence at Lowe’s for $3.97 for a 6 ft picket. Even though it’s only 5/8 thick, I might try this and cut it down to a 4x4 ft bed for herbs! Could be a cost effective way to achieve a similar look and build one a smaller scale
Thanks for the great idea!
I had some last about 4-5 years before i moved away and they still felt pretty solid. Even sitting on pretty wet Southeast Tx soil the entire time.
I have the cedar picket fence raised bed lasted me about 10 years now. I do have to replace the bottom part that come in contact with the ground every 3-4 years coz those rotted first. Now I might try this burning technique with the picket fence.
James! I love your videos and how informative you are! I’m sure most of us can say we have tried to grow a plant or two, but you really provide so much inspiration. From you, I learned my plant hardiness zone, up-keep soil moisture, building raised beds, transplanting, type of soil to use, composting, pruning. I can go on and on. I even love when you you provide full guides on growing certain vegetables. Looking forward to watching future videos!
A great video with such a thorough explanation and demonstration. I really appreciate your valuable channel and your enthusiasm and all the good recommendations that you give. Thanks to you and Tuck!!💕
Thank you for sharing how you did an ancient Japanese technique to make a beautiful raised wooden bed frame. You're cheerful and generous. God bless you!
Ive been suggesting this technique to gardeners for awhile now. Surprisingly many dont know it. Glad you caught on! Should get excellent results. I shou sugi ban all my wood projects.
Someone I know did their deck like this and it was absolutely stunning.
Great video, James. I wish I had seen this video a few years ago when I built my raised beds. You're right. It does look great! Thanks for the instructive video.
Very cool. I've seen the technique many times before, but never thought about it for garden beds. It looks stunning and I'm sure filled with lush green veggies it'll look even better! Happy Gardening from PA!
Very nice, thank you James.
I recently milled couple cedar tress in order to make my new raised garden beds.
I was researching on how to make sure these cedar boards will last me a long time and keep it cost effective!
And then you come out with this video!
Thanks!!
Wow! 🤩 Thanks for sharing!
Such a striking look! Definitely want to get some of these beds into the garden!
I really like the bed! I think I might try it with larger plank pine. Glad to see Tuck and you back in action!
You are always stepping it up a notch! What a beautiful raised bed ! ❤
i've been doing shou sugi ban for a few years now, and i absolutely LOVE it! i even did it on the inside of my cabin, which is finished with rough cut hemlock.
James, your gardening skills are amazing! This raised bed highlights your woodworking skills too! Yes, cedar is expensive, but well worth it for longevity. Just gorgeous!
The new bed looks great, James. Charing the wood and applying oil really gave it a great color and should help it last 10 years.
Love this technique! My son did his entire deck that way. (Took him forever!), but worth it!
That's a great idea! It may take a bit of time, but its supposed to last a long time. So me and Tuck think it will be worth it. 😁
I made a raised bed just like yours several years ago, using quality fence boards from Home Depot. However, it only lasted about 3 years as it rotted from the inside. Hopefully the added charring and finish will make yours last much longer than mine did.
❤❤❤❤❤ give Tuck a hug for me. Can’t wait to watch him picking his veggies real soon. Thanks for anotgrest video.
Beautiful!! Thanks for sharing! ❤❤❤ for Tuck
That looks amazing…well done! And thanks for all the great videos to help us amateurs out…I love them! 🤙🏽
You make gardening look like it is, a skill, which it is. Good luck and Keep on Growing 👍
Absolutely beautiful! I’m rebuilding one of my raised garden beds which has almost completely degraded over 7 years of use. I >really< want to try this method of wood preservation. Thanks for sharing your tutorial!
Nice job, you deserve an A+! Love the golden colored screws, it makes it look high end.
It looks gorgeous! Built to last! Thanks for breaking down the process! 🌱🌱🌱😃
Your timing was great for this. I’ve been thinking of just doing this myself, but with a smaller torch.
I just wanted to say "thank you" for the videos you've posted on raised beds. The Mrs and I are going to (with some small modifications) build your pallet, raised beds garden. Your vids have been super helpful.
This inspired me to buy the supplies for a couple raised beds. 1 is a Christmas gift for a family member that I had been struggling to find the right materials to build it out of. I found Red Cedar deck boards for 8.99 on sale and rebate at Menards, the sale ended today so I ran to get them. Going to put them together soon.
Thank you, James. The bed looks amazing!
Awesome brother your joy and excitement is contagious 💚🙏 bless you
The gold headed screws really bring it together
That raised bed is absolutely gorgeous!!!
I have also built many raised beds, but I have always protected them with a pond liner on the inside.Your raised bed looks great 👍
this sick, such a great idea!
Thanks bro! It was a decent amount of work and not cheap, but I think in time it will pay for itself. Plus I think it looks cool too. I also think it will look nice with a bunch of green plants in it, the contrast should look nice.
The raised bed looks absolutely stunning with the charred wood.
Thanks, James, it's beautiful! I knew cedar was expensive, but this was even more than I'd have guessed. You gave very clear instruction, love the tools used.
Love your energy - so glad to have found your channel
Can't wait to see the harvest! very cool
The knowledge you share is amazing thanks. And plenty love for Tuck the guardian of the garden . Best boss ever
Wonderful Innovation! Thank you for sharing your awesome build!
Gotta love this guys energy!!
This is very impressive! Thank you for sharing. Luv Tuck❤
I think this is the method I want to use! Thanks. Those garden beds look great!
LOVE THIS! Thank you for sharing this!
It looks amazing James. You have great carpentry skills
Great concise vid! Dude you know how to cut the fat and get straight into the important information! This is the best garden channel by a LONG shot. I can't wait to make some of these beds!👍👍
❤I love it!! I’ll have to make some this year. I think I’ll redo the beds from last year. Thank you James for this great idea!
Thanks for sharing this!!
I really like the burnt look! ✨✨ the finished product looks stunning!
Absolutely beautiful, I will be doing this!
Can't wait to try this.
I’ve used this technique for various projects for the past few years. Raised beds, hiking staffs, bamboo planters etc. I’ve used pine due to cost…it’s somewhat sap heavy but a good trick is to wipe that sap across the panels whilst it’s still molten (take care and be well gloved!!) it hardens like glass and provides that extra touch of waterproofing.
If you’re lucky enough to have bamboo at hand (I’m based in kyoto city so there’s an abundance of bamboo forests) the sap itself is all the waterproofing you’ll need. Not ideal for raised beds but perfect for long planters.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful technique, will definitely try it & beautiful design of your raised beds 😍
Absolutely love the idea of preserving the wood with the oil,I only wish I could do all my beds the same way. My favorite is seeing 🐾Tuck🐾 he is looking so handsome 🥰
James, love your energy man, every time! Keep it up! Send my greetings to Tuck :)
Loved the way this bed looks and especially Tucks ❤
Those prices are like insane... wow. But I sure am impressed with the results. Wow.
I’m so glad you tried Sho Sugi Ban. I do miss your top cap edge for sitting on. This bed came up a treat mate.👍🇦🇺
