yelling at the cameraman during the ridiculously loud burning process, 'charcoaling' 'little fishes' disappearing blackness' 'charcoal running down the sides after rain' 'please come to wales, it's a lovely place, whenever you're ready, okay cut.' thank you so much for this video, it is an inspiration and a comedy. thank you.
As an ex builder, you should have oiled the planks before fixing them then the colour will stay and the surface not get washed away. The idea with this technique is to get them black but nowhere near as black as you have, and this with bring the sap in the wood rising towards the fire and it then seals. What you have done it burned them too much to where the layer of soot with be falling off in flaking the size of the so called "crazy paving" effect. When this happened there will be no hard finish to protect the planks and they will look extremely blotchy and will have hardly any protection from the weather.
Hi - I think this is a great technique! How did the heavily burned planks fair, when not washed & brushed? I'm looking to do the same on my self build, and want to try & understand whether I should treat the wood after burning - I want the really deeply burnt finish. Do let me know how it weathered.
Quick is not the point. You aren't getting the edges and they are burned too deeply. The ones you have on your house didn't withstand the rain because it was not done correctly...The charcoaled wood will wear off in the weather if burned too much - the burn is uneven and you aren't brushing the boards to get off the loose debris to prepare for the key part - Oiling the wood...The ends of the boards have to be burned along with the backs...the way you are doing it here - the cedar will rot and take on moisture from the back too.. I think you may find your finish to be in trouble down the road...

I would love an update on how this project ended up using your techniques! Let us know!

I agree with this!
This isn't correct fyi
Hehe, you're having too much fun at work.
It’s a case of ‘Do you want the finish black or buggered?’ ha ha ha .

is there a second video about washing and brushing or not and how it did look later?
and how do you prevent the wood from crumbling?
please write about the end of the process. it would be better to see the video.
Brush it very lightly with a soft brush if you want to keep the alligator look then Mix stain and oil 50/50 and apply
do you cover it with oil or what?
What kind of blow torch are you using? Propane or mapp? Would you recommend one over the other? Have you finished the project? Any pics?
How did it workout, not brushing the planks?
I would think it would make one hell of a mess.
Brush them after burning and stain them.
the effect is Charred Gator
Why not both sides?
Hope you have patented this method - it could be worth a small fortune xxx
+Esti Cukier Not really. He sort of botched it from the beginning.
+Esti Cukier His method is a fail.
I'd call it aligatoring.
