I would like to do one of those red white and blue ones just as an art piece to hang. I made a towel rack with your style and it turned out amazing. Thanks for the tip of burning the other side to take the cupping out. I was struggling with that.
The timing on this video couldn't be better! I just tried my first piece on scrap cedar that my brother gave me last night and love how it came out! I've had my eye on this technique for finishishing picture frames and mixed media art pieces. I'm so excited to experiment with finishes that it was on my mind as I slept, I had even considered using old eye shadow!! These tips are great and it was shou sugi ban that brought me to your channel and you gave me the courage to give it a try! Thank you! 💖👍👍🔥
Viewers that (Complain) about your content “taking too long”, “overthinking”, “go in to too much detail” are Clearly NOT your Target Audience. Let them just Move On ... The highest Value of your channel is how Thorough that you are with the Information Sharing. Many/Most viewers don’t (think) that much about things that they do, they just want to get it done. The viewers that are prone to critical thought, Learning, Sharing knowledge (like myself) Absolutely LOVE what you do. Keep up the FANTASTIC Work !
I just lost my job and decided to open a woodshop instead of struggling to find work during this time. I've been dabbling in wood working my whole life and I am so happy I finally took the leap. And this channel is the most useful I have found so far!!!! Thank you so much!
Just watched a couple of your videos and one thought came to mind, more than once. It's a phrase from dog training: You get what you pay attention to. Ignore the detractors; they've got nothing better to do. Keep doing what you're doing. Your willingness to tackle the unknown is inspiring and your work is amazing.
TIP: You can vary the char cube size with speed of burn. Several light passes to char then a heavy one gives larger cube finish or just a heavy one off pass gives small cubing. Fire fighters use this knowledge to determine arson claims, if the fire was started using an accelerant, small cubing at the ignition source and a cube line change on the accelerant edge. Thanks for sharing your efforts in detail, it means we can all take features to construct our own take. I use this technique mainly on handled implements, it's great fun.
Okay, for real. I'm a woodworker and I have been messing around with all this stuff for as long as I can remember. Burning wood and other sorts of unique finish options are relatively new to me and I aspire to continue experimenting. That being said, I watch just about every capable woodworker on RUclips, and you are definitely in my top 10. I'm completely in love with the shou, all thanks to you. Don't let these negative comments from these negative losers bring any negativity into your workspace.. you've got it, whatever it is, you've got it. Also, this is probably the first time I've commented on anything in the internet and at least 10 years but I couldn't let it pass, having heard the dissension in your voice
Forget the people whining about too much time taken in explaining. DETAILS are how you learn a new technique. The complainers will be the ones who EFF up because of not knowing details. Thank you for the details!
Hey Jodi, I just find your channel and I really enjoy it. As a former custom furniture finisher I have to say I really like these series of videos. I enjoy all the detail you’re sharing because those details are invaluable to everyone who might want to start exploring this. Now as a mental health coach, I would encourage you to no concern yourself so much with the critics. We will always have them in our lives but there’s so much more freedom when we don’t let them influence us. Do you the way you want to do you. Those who value you and your content will continue to value you and your content.
Thank you so much for being so generous with your time and for the large amount of work you put into this. It is obvious that you really care about conveying complete and accurate information. I'm grateful that there are knowledgable people like yourself that are so willing to share their knowledge. Many people appreciate you more than you can know.
I can't get enuff content from your tutorials on Shou sugi! I stained a flatbed, sealed it, then discovered your ideas, so I grabbed some pine, random boards and started burning.then scrubbed and the wood was beautiful but too dark tone is way off, back to your channel..wow! So my project is not lost and just went up to the next level! Thank you so much for the indepth videos,in my opinion u can rant and go on and on and I'm thankful for every word! I want to support your channel and will soon with purchases. But I am also directing everyone who compliments my work to your channel!
Thank you for the videos. You have given me inspiration. Being a demolition contractor I get a lot of reused timber and lumber…. Yard full of it. Your methods are turning my old lumber into something out of this world….. incredible. You are welcome to materials which I will donate to your cause. Let me know if you are ever on the chicago Northside. Btw…. Forget any negative comments you are doing something really special. 100.
You should absolutely cont' to put in the minute details because there are people out here that truly appreciate the craft you are teaching us. I would've never known about this technique if not for your videos! I made an awesome table top for an Industrial C table my son made in School and I put the extra effort into the project and you do get out of things what you put into them. It'a all about the details!!! Keep up the great and detailed work sir!!
Don’t change a thing! Love the time, effort and attention to detail you put into your work. I’m going to attempt to get this kind of effect on the top of my next Stratocaster electric guitar build!
I love that you put so much detail in your explanation of the reaction of different wood to heat. Very helpful. I'm using pine and have been through a lot of videos. Yours are definitely my favorite.
Hey, I'm very green when it comes to wood working. I've watched a number of your videos now, and I have to say, thank you. Dont let the trolls bring you down. There are so many, as you know on social media. Dont let them drag you down. They are idiots. When you come to a negative comment, if it's not constructive, don't let it get you. Good stuff and Cheers
Love the shu shugi ban playlist. I am a novice woodworker and have learned so much. Also, I appreciate the details. I'd rather know what to do with various materials and tools and learn why it works for an authentic result than take a shortcut and wonder why I am disappointed. Thank you!
Dont let people get you down man, ignore the haters and just keep doing what you're doing. Confidence makes for a better video. You got this! Love the stuff! Learned a lot! Thanks.
Dude you're awesome THANK YOU my Brother for TAKING your time and doing it RIGHT and WELL the FIRST time. Love it. You set a good example for the Zen way of going about things. Like every part if it is a priviledge, and taking time to enjoy the process. This is the WAY my man. Keep going bro! Mahalo
I definitely appreciate the detail! Anybody can skip through anything if they wanted to. All very helpful information and your time on these videos saves us time testing each and every technique! 🤘🏼
I love your videos, they are very well done, packed with very useful information. Keep on doing what you are doing. There will always someone who will criticize and think they know better than you. Let them go. You are someone who obviously knows what you are talking about. For my part, I’m learning tons!
This comment applies to all your videos, I just binged your Shou Sugi Ban series. Great content, clear explanations. Details are what people need to appreciate, some will never realize it. Don't change for them, your style is awesome.
I love the detail that you put into the videos. They are not really that long and I have a short attention span. I am absolutely captivated by the end product that I love how you explain how to get there. Thank you for being a real, down to earth guy. And thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience.
You are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT in what you said about the history of Shou Sugi Ban. It wasn't charred to be a cool looking treatment for interior designs and crafts. It was charred to the black cracking state and hung on the exterior of homes because it becomes a fire and insect resistant siding material in the charred state. The couch potatos out there are the ones who say, "You take too long." They just want to be entertained by someone and to them I say, "GO SOMEWHERE ELSE FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT!" Those of us who actually plan to DO these projects APPRECIATE YOUR THOROUGHNESS because we are here to LEARN! THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO, KEEP DOING YOUR VIDEOS YOUR WAY!!
Wow what an incredible technique, I love doing Shou sugi ban and I think this is a genius next step. And screw those people that are bitching that you put too much detail. I am definitely going to use this on my next project 😁 you rock man👍
Thank you so much for all the thought and testing you put into your videos. Shou sugi ban turned out to be pretty much first woodworking project in two-plus decades. Your videos, as well as those by Build Dad Build, helped me turn a basic hardware store dowel into a "bloodwood" staff for Halloween. After watching this video I had a crazy idea - inlaid metal in the valleys of the alligator texture. First thought was precious metal clay since you also use fire to turn the molded and dried clay into metal. Second thought was gold leaf. Paint your glue in the cracks (or just the bumps) and lay your gold leaf down. Of course, there are metal mica powders, too.
You inspired me to build a desk out of 2x4s with the burn and brush method. I planed them to dimension, did all the joinery, then burned, brushed and finished. I used a bright red stain and it ended up matching some antique pieces I already had with a deep reddish color pretty well. I'm super happy with it. Thanks for sharing! This new stuff looks awesome.
Awesome video!! I can't believe ppl are complaining that you give too much detail, that's what I look for in these types of videos. Thanks a lot man I really appreciate you taking the time to make these videos and gave me some ideas on how to move forward with my own projects. Keep the awesome videos coming and I will definitely be back 👍
Quality over quantity sir! Another great information packed video. We referred to it as “attention to detail” in the Corps. Your attention to detail is outstanding. Keep up the great work.
THANK YOU FOR THE COMMITMENT OF YOUR CRAFT. YOU HAVE DONE A THOROUGH AND VERY INFORMATIVE JOB INTO THE RESEARCH AND TECHNIQUE OF THIS TYPE OF WOODWORKING. GIFTED HANDS ONLY ARE ALLOWED TO EXPERIENCE THIS TYPE OF WOODWORK. YOUR HANDS ARE GIFTED! I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE ACHIEVED TO BRING THIS INFORMATION TO US. CONTINUE YOUR GIFTED WORK FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO SEE IT, UNDERSTAND IT, AND LOVE IT! I LOVE IT!
It's the details that make a project even better. If you take pride in what you do you can't over think it. I'm a new subscriber and I like your videos.
I'm new at this so I'm watching all the videos and I really do appreciate the detail you explain because I would make a big mistake I'm just getting into woodworking epoxy I'm 60 years old woman and I'm loving it thank you for the video dude
I was just flipping threw the different stories, and topics, and your chanel caighy my eye. I found it very interesting, and have never heard about this technique. You presented it in a way anyone should understand, and I'm definitely going to try it on some of my projects in the future. So your getting a thumbs up, and a new subscriber.
Your a crafstman man dont listen to ppl, im a carpenter as well and i take pride in all i do not just cus my names on it but its also my passion as i can see its yours too... great job as always brother man..
Excellent video. Patiently explained and you don't go " uum,...uum..", all the time like a lot of people do, in videos, which I find sooo annoying. You absolutely know what you're doing. Great.
Absolutely LOVE your channel! I caught one of your videos months ago and can't wait until I get some time to perfect the techniques you show. The content you provide is gold! The hell with those who bitch about the detail level. For those of use who want to learn and take your content serious... I say more detail the better. Not to mention all the effort and time you put into editing these videos. I want to thank you for the time and detail you put into all your videos. For the items I need or don't have... I will definitely be purchasing from your affiliate links.
Thank you so much for another great, informative video. I love the techniques, & I am getting things set up now to begin my woodworking adventure. I'm sure I will be asking questions for your insight & experience. I love your commentary, too.
Bro.. Your work is great and detailed explanations are good. You are the one who taught me to burn wood and I appreciate it.. I actually have built a few wine racks with this method..
When I was a little kid there was a house down the road that partially burn down. The people left a lot of stuff in there. Me and my buddies would go in there and hangout. lots of burned wood like that . Your video brings back fun memories man. 😎🚴
A small tip to counteract the CA glue fumes is to set up a fan behind you blowing towards an outdoor opening. Thanks for all your tips. Love the work, as always.
Ignore the trolls, your channel is very helpful, and there are no shortcuts for a proper job. Shou Sugi Ban is not Yakisugi, one can read that clearly in your videos' titles so no one should get Lost or be mistaken. What you are doing is appreciated by Manu, do not let a couple of smartasses get to you. Cheers, m8!
I totally love and appreciate all your videos. I learn so much plus they stimulate my creativity. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and your expéreience.
I really do appreciate all your talent and the effort that you put in do this classes. I bless you because I have learned and practice the information that you have given to us take your time no one is forced to stay
Thank you for doing things to a higher “overthought” standard. The difference in quality between short and quick vs. investing time and labor into each step is the value to the customer. Sell on value and the client gets what they want.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share all this awesome info, ideas, experience, and especially for the inspiration! I am so pumped about doing a laminated guitar top like this, with the pistachio green mica powder that you used too. I think casting it in epoxy after for a smooth stable flat top may be the way to go for this. Ordering some cedar and mica powder now, and I'll have lots of experimenting to do over the holidays! Thanks so much again, I really appreciate it!!!
One idea that I got from watching this video is after puting the mica powder on the wood pieces and sealing them with whatever of our choosing would be to add mica powder to resin and mix it up and then do layers of that over the wood pieces. Or just one or 2 layers. But by doing several layers and letting them dry in between I bet some incredible affects would happen. I'm now super interested in trying to creat a look of natural opal over the wood and as the filler on other pieces just filling in the cracks with it so it looked like the opal has formed inside the burned wood and the cracking is maybe an affect of the opal forming within the wood and causing it to crack apart... I'm going to play with this and see what types of illusions I can come up with. Thanks for such an inspirational video. I really enjoyed all of ur videos I have seen so far
Jody...This is without a doubt the best video I have seen about finishing Shou Sugi Ban. I learned more from this video than in a dozen of others I have watched. Keep them coming!!!
I've been playing with Shou Sugi for a while and it's a really interesting medium. I like your experiments, taking it to the next level. I'm working on an oak tree trunk anvil stand. I've croc'd it, it looks great. But I'm gonna set it up on center spindles and micro powder in dark cherry, seal then brush poly. I'll e-mail some pics if it isn't a disaster 😂 Much appreciated 👍🏼
This is the 5th vid of yours that I've watched. I can already tell that anyone that would criticize the length or depth of detail that you get into are not woodworking people. I've worked with wood for most of my life and your techniques ring pretty true with what I know and was taught. Keep doing what you're doing and give no time to the trolls. I subscribed after video 1.
Great vid. I been burning a bunch of things lately. Just built a receptionist desk for a salon. Full char upper counter with polycrylic and then full char and cleared lower counter again with a polycrylic finish. Everyone loves that texture and can’t stop touching it. The mica powder idea would have been great for contrast on that upper portion of the counter. Now there’s something new for me to play around with. THANKS.
Thanks so much for taking your time to experiment with these different techniques and share your findings with us! The detail is why I come back to your videos time and time again. Very informative. Ignore the haters your videos get my vote 👍
Not sure why this came up as a suggestion, but I’m glad it did! Really appreciate you taking the time, energy and effort in both the artistry as well as the filming. I’ve never done any Shou Sugi Ban/2.0 but your video makes clear that there is a tone of artistic expression to be had.
Great video, I’m a wood artist. I’m gonna try this but what I’m gonna do is seal the char first then fill the cracks with general finishes glaze with extender “color of my choice” then reseal
Great video, great work! I hate that every video these days, everyone has to Express... spend time commenting on the individuals that dislike everything. I feel that we give them to much power. Sorry you had to take time out of your craft for those individuals. Keep on, keepin on. I'm not going anywhere. Thank you for your hard work!
Wow. Just Wow. Excellent way to update an old technique. To be quite honest I have been trying to come up with something similar, but you hit it, brother. Excellent work!
I love the detail of your video, and especially hearing about what didn't work so I don't try to outsmart the process and destroy my projects and waste my time. If anyone tells you to do less, or to be less informative, please send them my way and I can tell them, as my friend Wayne says, where to go and how to get there
So glad I found your channel! honestly, one of the best Woodworking channels I've ever come across, love your vibe and thought process, feels perfect in-depth for me!! I gotta know why not to do things one way in order to motivate the extra work! Thankyou for doing the experiment work for us :)
Purchasing the micro powder and nylon wheel through your link brother. Just starting out this journey and appreciate the IN DEPTH videos. Don't trip on the haters. Envy is never a good thing.
Thanks pal! We did a 12 x 10 foot cedar accent wall in our backyard behind our hot tub using your techniques and it turned out amazing! Keep the videos coming.
Thanks for this detailed video. I really appreciate that.🙏🏼 I definitely prefer this type of education, the step by step style, so you get all information you need. (Sorry if my English isn’t that good, I‘m from Germany but I hope you have a clue what I mean.☺️) I love the idea to use it as an accent, a whole table for example would be too much, at least for my taste. Thanks for sharing and the effort to make this video.☺️ Have a fantastic sunday.
Jody, as with all your other videos and how to videos awesome job. I am most definitely going to try this type of finish for a couple project I have in mind. As you already know that you cannot please everyone so, you just keep doing what YOU think your topic needs in the way that YOU want to share and the hell with the others. Those of us that know you and like YOUR work will always be loyal! You rock!
I learned a LONG TIME ago that people that dog a person like you that takes the time to teach or share your knowledge, are the type of people you want to change the dang channel anyway !!!.. Or that would be what I would say !!. Not to mention it aint like u can't just fast-forward the vid...!!!.. Anyways.. I stumbled on your channel and have worked with wood for 35 plus years and NEVER seen that technique b4 !!!.. Freaking AWESOME MAN !!!.. IGNORE THE IDIOTS !!!... I guarantee they don't have the ballz to even try to make a video about anything !!!... Great Job and I am definitely subscribing !!!...

I worked on this video for 18 hours straight. Hopefully SOMEBODY finds it useful! Also, where do YOU see this new style being used?
I would like to do one of those red white and blue ones just as an art piece to hang. I made a towel rack with your style and it turned out amazing. Thanks for the tip of burning the other side to take the cupping out. I was struggling with that.
The timing on this video couldn't be better! I just tried my first piece on scrap cedar that my brother gave me last night and love how it came out! I've had my eye on this technique for finishishing picture frames and mixed media art pieces. I'm so excited to experiment with finishes that it was on my mind as I slept, I had even considered using old eye shadow!!
These tips are great and it was shou sugi ban that brought me to your channel and you gave me the courage to give it a try! Thank you! 💖👍👍🔥
I plan on making some boxes for Christmas and using the burn technique on them. This would probably be awesome on those.
I don't know where I want to use it, but I think it looks amazingly cool. And I really appreciate the burn speed test and how it changes the texture.
Picture frames and guitar bodies is what came to mind for me. Great info!

Thank you very much for the kind words. You are right, and it's taken me a long time to figure that out. Or maybe at least to accept it.
Agreed!
They're the lazy "TLDR" types.
I just lost my job and decided to open a woodshop instead of struggling to find work during this time. I've been dabbling in wood working my whole life and I am so happy I finally took the leap. And this channel is the most useful I have found so far!!!! Thank you so much!
With mica you should use a stencilling brush first, try it, it really is a smooth process.
Just watched a couple of your videos and one thought came to mind, more than once. It's a phrase from dog training: You get what you pay attention to. Ignore the detractors; they've got nothing better to do. Keep doing what you're doing. Your willingness to tackle the unknown is inspiring and your work is amazing.
I agree, and was good to see someone else on point with that truth. Awesome! 🤙

Fire fighters use this knowledge to determine arson claims, if the fire was started using an accelerant, small cubing at the ignition source and a cube line change on the accelerant edge.

Thank you for the fine detail description. This is an art, not a mass production. Much appreciated. Keep up the excellent work! :)
Wow what an incredible technique, I love doing Shou sugi ban and I think this is a genius next step. And screw those people that are bitching that you put too much detail. I am definitely going to use this on my next project 😁 you rock man👍
Love it all. Don't waist your time with Negative Viewers. Keep up the Good Work. The Neggies can go where the Sun Never Shines.
You are the BEEEESSSSSSSTTT teaching this technique. Don’t change please the way you show the process
Thank you so much for all the thought and testing you put into your videos. Shou sugi ban turned out to be pretty much first woodworking project in two-plus decades.

This new stuff looks awesome.
That's so awesome! I'm really glad to hear that you got the results you wanted!
The beauty is in the details.. Personally, the details are what set apart the quality of the piece..
I vote for the detail and the thorough explanations! Thanks for sharing your time, resources and expertise.
Awesome video!! I can't believe ppl are complaining that you give too much detail, that's what I look for in these types of videos. Thanks a lot man I really appreciate you taking the time to make these videos and gave me some ideas on how to move forward with my own projects. Keep the awesome videos coming and I will definitely be back 👍
I guess there would be differences in the viewers. Those of us that plan on doing the work also love the details.
Good point. Thank you!
Agreed. I am annoyed at tutorials that skip over steps or don't mention details. I love these videos because he doesn't leave anything out.
ya, if i do not plan on doing it, details are irrelevant, im gonna give this a shot as i already have wood and powders
Quality over quantity sir! Another great information packed video. We referred to it as “attention to detail” in the Corps. Your attention to detail is outstanding. Keep up the great work.
That looks FANTASTIC!!!!! The extra attention to detail making this video is incredibly helpful!!!!!!!!!

It's the details that make a project even better. If you take pride in what you do you can't over think it. I'm a new subscriber and I like your videos.
I very much appreciate your attention to detail..... I am learning and trying your techniques
I'm new at this so I'm watching all the videos and I really do appreciate the detail you explain because I would make a big mistake I'm just getting into woodworking epoxy I'm 60 years old woman and I'm loving it thank you for the video dude
Anything worth doing right will gain the best results. I like the long, informational, route. I always do it right. Beauty takes effort.
I was just flipping threw the different stories, and topics, and your chanel caighy my eye. I found it very interesting, and have never heard about this technique. You presented it in a way anyone should understand, and I'm definitely going to try it on some of my projects in the future. So your getting a thumbs up, and a new subscriber.
I appreciate both the quick overview and the full time video! The combination is awesome and makes it all much easier to take in.
Thank you for the summary. I appreciate it, it makes you a trustworthy presenter rather than a clickbaity one.
Your a crafstman man dont listen to ppl, im a carpenter as well and i take pride in all i do not just cus my names on it but its also my passion as i can see its yours too... great job as always brother man..
Excellent video. Patiently explained and you don't go " uum,...uum..", all the time like a lot of people do, in videos, which I find sooo annoying. You absolutely know what you're doing. Great.
Oh don't be fooled. I still say "um, um", I just edit them out for the sake of my audience. HAHA! Thanks for the kind comment and for watching!
Your channel has become “must watch” RUclips! Love this idea. Appreciate your thoughtfulness and detail. Keep up the good work!
Absolutely LOVE your channel! I caught one of your videos months ago and can't wait until I get some time to perfect the techniques you show. The content you provide is gold! The hell with those who bitch about the detail level. For those of use who want to learn and take your content serious... I say more detail the better. Not to mention all the effort and time you put into editing these videos. I want to thank you for the time and detail you put into all your videos. For the items I need or don't have... I will definitely be purchasing from your affiliate links.
I used a large make-up brush to spread my mica powder! Worked really good!!
Thank you so much for another great, informative video. I love the techniques, & I am getting things set up now to begin my woodworking adventure. I'm sure I will be asking questions for your insight & experience. I love your commentary, too.
Bro.. Your work is great and detailed explanations are good. You are the one who taught me to burn wood and I appreciate it.. I actually have built a few wine racks with this method..
People like u is one in billion thanks
we do appreciate
Thanks for all the testing, time investing, money put into it, and sharings.. much appreciated
I like the examples on the different types of wood and really like the results. Well done.
When I was a little kid there was a house down the road that partially burn down. The people left a lot of stuff in there. Me and my buddies would go in there and hangout. lots of burned wood like that . Your video brings back fun memories man. 😎🚴
I enjoy the thorough videos and all the tricks of the trade behind them. You’ve really helped me along my latest project. Thank you so much!
A small tip to counteract the CA glue fumes is to set up a fan behind you blowing towards an outdoor opening. Thanks for all your tips. Love the work, as always.
Very good ideas and direction on how to accomplish the result. 👍🏻
Ignore the trolls, your channel is very helpful, and there are no shortcuts for a proper job. Shou Sugi Ban is not Yakisugi, one can read that clearly in your videos' titles so no one should get Lost or be mistaken. What you are doing is appreciated by Manu, do not let a couple of smartasses get to you. Cheers, m8!
I totally love and appreciate all your videos. I learn so much plus they stimulate my creativity. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and your expéreience.
I can't believe I haven't stumbled onto your channel until now but I'm so happy I have!!! You are awesome!!!
Prefer the thoughtful approach over super fast ❤️
I really do appreciate all your talent and the effort that you put in do this classes. I bless you because I have learned and practice the information that you have given to us take your time no one is forced to stay
Love it. glad yuo tried it w/ epoxy as well. That was my thought initially. Spray adhesive looks interesting and I'll have to give it a try.
Thank you for doing things to a higher “overthought” standard. The difference in quality between short and quick vs. investing time and labor into each step is the value to the customer. Sell on value and the client gets what they want.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share all this awesome info, ideas, experience, and especially for the inspiration! I am so pumped about doing a laminated guitar top like this, with the pistachio green mica powder that you used too. I think casting it in epoxy after for a smooth stable flat top may be the way to go for this. Ordering some cedar and mica powder now, and I'll have lots of experimenting to do over the holidays! Thanks so much again, I really appreciate it!!!
One idea that I got from watching this video is after puting the mica powder on the wood pieces and sealing them with whatever of our choosing would be to add mica powder to resin and mix it up and then do layers of that over the wood pieces. Or just one or 2 layers. But by doing several layers and letting them dry in between I bet some incredible affects would happen. I'm now super interested in trying to creat a look of natural opal over the wood and as the filler on other pieces just filling in the cracks with it so it looked like the opal has formed inside the burned wood and the cracking is maybe an affect of the opal forming within the wood and causing it to crack apart... I'm going to play with this and see what types of illusions I can come up with.
Thanks for such an inspirational video. I really enjoyed all of ur videos I have seen so far
Jody...This is without a doubt the best video I have seen about finishing Shou Sugi Ban. I learned more from this video than in a dozen of others I have watched. Keep them coming!!!
I've been playing with Shou Sugi for a while and it's a really interesting medium. I like your experiments, taking it to the next level. I'm working on an oak tree trunk anvil stand. I've croc'd it, it looks great. But I'm gonna set it up on center spindles and micro powder in dark cherry, seal then brush poly. I'll e-mail some pics if it isn't a disaster 😂
Much appreciated 👍🏼
The way you explain is very easy to follow
This is the 5th vid of yours that I've watched. I can already tell that anyone that would criticize the length or depth of detail that you get into are not woodworking people. I've worked with wood for most of my life and your techniques ring pretty true with what I know and was taught. Keep doing what you're doing and give no time to the trolls. I subscribed after video 1.
Thank you for this!
Great vid.
I been burning a bunch of things lately. Just built a receptionist desk for a salon. Full char upper counter with polycrylic and then full char and cleared lower counter again with a polycrylic finish. Everyone loves that texture and can’t stop touching it. The mica powder idea would have been great for contrast on that upper portion of the counter. Now there’s something new for me to play around with.
THANKS.
That's awesome! I'm glad it all worked out for you. I love the depth and texture that full char has too.
I’m going to be building my first couple of side tables and I’m excited to try new things! Great videos man. More details the better.
Thanks so much for taking your time to experiment with these different techniques and share your findings with us! The detail is why I come back to your videos time and time again. Very informative.
Ignore the haters your videos get my vote 👍
This comment is the best. Thank you!
Not sure why this came up as a suggestion, but I’m glad it did! Really appreciate you taking the time, energy and effort in both the artistry as well as the filming. I’ve never done any Shou Sugi Ban/2.0 but your video makes clear that there is a tone of artistic expression to be had.
Great video, I’m a wood artist. I’m gonna try this but what I’m gonna do is seal the char first then fill the cracks with general finishes glaze with extender “color of my choice” then reseal
Thank you for doing these videos. I've been very inspired by them.
Don't worry about the negative people. You'll never please them anyway. I appreciate your detail as I'm a beginner! TY
Great video, great work!
I hate that every video these days, everyone has to Express... spend time commenting on the individuals that dislike everything. I feel that we give them to much power. Sorry you had to take time out of your craft for those individuals.
Keep on, keepin on. I'm not going anywhere.
Thank you for your hard work!
Wow. Just Wow. Excellent way to update an old technique. To be quite honest I have been trying to come up with something similar, but you hit it, brother. Excellent work!
Well thank you, sir.
Excellent demo! Super cool look.
I love the detail of your video, and especially hearing about what didn't work so I don't try to outsmart the process and destroy my projects and waste my time. If anyone tells you to do less, or to be less informative, please send them my way and I can tell them, as my friend Wayne says, where to go and how to get there
So glad I found your channel! honestly, one of the best Woodworking channels I've ever come across, love your vibe and thought process, feels perfect in-depth for me!! I gotta know why not to do things one way in order to motivate the extra work! Thankyou for doing the experiment work for us :)
Those who mind, don't matter! Those who matter, don't mind! I appreciate your vids bro! Thanks
Purchasing the micro powder and nylon wheel through your link brother. Just starting out this journey and appreciate the IN DEPTH videos. Don't trip on the haters. Envy is never a good thing.
Thank you! This really helped me with this style of shou sigi ban. Great video!
I’m totally a beginner! I did our picnic table in shou sugi ban. It turned out pretty good. The videos definitely helped along the way thanks
Thanks for taking the time to explain you ideas, this video goes to the top of my favorite list.
Awesome. And thanks for experimenting for us and all the Details!
Thank you. What you've done is flipping beautiful - I've never seen anything like this. Off to watch the others!
Thanks pal! We did a 12 x 10 foot cedar accent wall in our backyard behind our hot tub using your techniques and it turned out amazing! Keep the videos coming.
That's so awesome! Congrats on the new accent wall!
Thanks for this detailed video. I really appreciate that.🙏🏼 I definitely prefer this type of education, the step by step style, so you get all information you need. (Sorry if my English isn’t that good, I‘m from Germany but I hope you have a clue what I mean.☺️)
I love the idea to use it as an accent, a whole table for example would be too much, at least for my taste.
Thanks for sharing and the effort to make this video.☺️
Have a fantastic sunday.
I understand loud and clear and thank you!
Jody, as with all your other videos and how to videos awesome job. I am most definitely going to try this type of finish for a couple project I have in mind. As you already know that you cannot please everyone so, you just keep doing what YOU think your topic needs in the way that YOU want to share and the hell with the others. Those of us that know you and like YOUR work will always be loyal! You rock!
Well said my friend and thank you!
I learned a LONG TIME ago that people that dog a person like you that takes the time to teach or share your knowledge, are the type of people you want to change the dang channel anyway !!!.. Or that would be what I would say !!. Not to mention it aint like u can't just fast-forward the vid...!!!.. Anyways.. I stumbled on your channel and have worked with wood for 35 plus years and NEVER seen that technique b4 !!!.. Freaking AWESOME MAN !!!.. IGNORE THE IDIOTS !!!... I guarantee they don't have the ballz to even try to make a video about anything !!!... Great Job and I am definitely subscribing !!!...
You do what makes you happy. It comes across in the quality of your content and work!
Very true and thank you for the kind comment.
