fast yakisugi (or shou sugi ban)

- We adapted a hybrid yakisugi (or shou sugi ban) process for open-joint rain screen siding. The combination of the traditional Japanese tube approach and a commercial propane torch is fast, and uses a very small amount of fuel. Inexpensive 1x8 S1S2E tight knot cedar boards were used and applied to vertical furring strips with galvanized ring shank nails. We are on our sixth year since the install and it looks nearly as good as the day it was installed.
Thanks for sharing your process. Great production-line...and I like the fact you minimised the danger by spraying the surrounding area and tree branch above. I'm planning to use this technique on the siding for a cabin I'm building in the Portuguese mountains where there is a high risk of wildfires.
I understand that since the surface of the wood is already burnt, a wildfire is more likely to pass quickly over the house without doing too much further damage. The process also burns off the surface cellulose, which contains the sugars that rot and wood-boring insects are attracted to.
I have watched other Western Yakisugi videos, and they all use oil to "seal" the wood....so glad you have confirmed this is not necessary. I was worried that oil would make the siding more liable to burn, and also increase the cost. A centuries old Japanese technique...no toxic chemicals. Eco friendly and beautiful.
Excellent Idea for achieving an even char across every board, I've seen mixed results with the wire up method, sometimes creating an overlap that doesn't get charred
Very nice - thanks for sharing
Hi, nice technique, will maybe try.
I was wondering, you seem to not brush them afterwards.
Could the ash wash down on other material when raining (planing to put it over a stone wall).
Did you at least water rince them ?
Thank you !
i'm gonna steal this idea!
Great, that’s the idea! And good luck with your project!
Did you treat these planks with any oils or sealants?
After trying this on some 2x4 pine lumber for a fence this week, I can appreciate how time-consuming it is to do it one piece at a time with a torch. Your way would be a much better way if doing siding for a house.
In keeping with the traditional technique, we did not apply oil or any other sealant. After many years the siding still looks fantastic. Sealants might be necessary if you wire brush the char off the wood, thereby eliminating much of the protective layer produced from burning.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing your technique!
Did you oil the boards after?
Ronald, thanks very much. We did not oil the boards. Our understanding is that the centuries old Japanese technique did not utilize oil, and we wanted to investigate how the simplest (and most cost-effective) application would weather in the Pacific Northwest climate. So far so good!
I did not oil the boards. 5 years later, the finish looks as good as the day I installed it.
@@w.labdesignstudio1124 I am looking for about 28 2inchx6inchx4ft boards for a raised bed in San Jose, CA area. Do you have a way for consumers to purchase from you? I have not been able to find a website
@@hynnow18 i found mine on Wayfare. Good cedar wood design, burned on my own, doing well.
Hey! Does it stains afterwards?
And did you plane the planks before?
Nice! Does the bottom boards not burn as much as the side and top boards? And how long did u kept each tube burning before hosing it down?
The burn is very even across boards. I think it was around a minute for each tube. Hosing it down (really just a quick spritz) is optional, as the fire dies quickly after the torch is removed.
You only treat the outside of the boards?
That is correct. One side and both edges.
There is a reason for making that wood as triangle. Think about that.
Hey there Ivanno - I certainly see the utility of using a triangle when using the traditional method of placing the tube over a small fire. However, as you can see this is a hybrid method using a torch and triangles would be less efficient in this case.
Ah... Got it. 😁😁😁
You missed one on your soundtrack..... /watch?v=en1uwIzI3SE
While the LOOK is cool this is an absolute ridiculous thing to do, if you want a burnt home just move to the west coast.
homes24 looks cool, works as a fire retardent, envierment friendly and avoids bug infestation to the wood.. this is a very old japanese tecnique! They have wooden buildings with hundreds of years old and all they used to preserve the wood was this "ridiculous thing"...
Precisely Tiago. Anyone moving to the west coast wanting a burnt home, I'm here to design it for them. Very practical, elegant, and surprisingly cost-effective.
w.lab design studio im building my own wooden tiny house, and im planing on using the Shou Sugi Ban technique! Elegant, cost.effective, nature friendly and Black 😎👌
Excellent! Have fun and good luck!
