Wow this is an interesting and lovely technique. I'd never heard of it before. I would 100% burn myself though if I tried anything like that 😂. Be careful - although you're obviously not clumsy like me!
I first saw it done on internal woodwork in a friends house 40 odd years ago! It is, I believe also a good way to harden wood that is going in the ground to delay rotting! ...... I know, not here it isn't! ;o) If it is being used for furniture that is going to be handled what additional finishes do you think would work best? Obviously you need to remove the char, but even then it is a "dirty" surface.
Wow. 40 years ago inside!!! Brilliant 👍 I'm finding that taking the powered Char off with a small, fine wire brush. Is keeping it very dark. And then Oil it. I've mixed Danish Oil with some Teak Oil because I want to Oil to sink in before it starts drying. And it's taking a couple of coats on straight grain. But end grain is so hungry for more, and more, and more. I'll show the results again very soon. I'm absolutely in love with it. Because I can mix woods, darken parts, make Weird things and it looks different. Very Black 🖤
This takes your craftsmanship to a completely different level 💯 Love it 😀 👌🏻
It's very different, but incredibly great fun to do. Especially difficult trying to create an even and well faded hombre effect.

Safety first with (almost) everything Sue. It's just practice and patience. There's no rush.
Have you tried scorching or Yakasugi on timber? Let me know if you have, or you've seen it somewhere.
