Great work. Not only is it beautiful but you do a great job explaining and making it simple. No BS, not allot of umms and pauses. A pleasure to watch and learn. Thanks
This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection ruclips.net/user/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.
So here I am looking for mud kitchen ideas and this pops up. The mud kitchen will go in my nursery school playground. This would look so cool on the fencing area in a rainbow layout while still keeping the natural wood elements. 👍👍👍
I'm just now starting to watch videos regarding wood work/art. This video is a real pleasure; I never thought about blow torching the wood to help bring out the grain. What a genius idea! Thanks for sharing!
Cool project! The colors are a neat twist on traditional Shou Shugi Ban woodwork. My favorite is wood finish is: 1 part Wipe-On Poly 1 part boiled linseed oil 1 part mineral spirits The BLO adds a really nice luster to the wood. The poly seals and protects the wood surface. The mineral spirits thins the solution to make it super wipe-able and also to help the BLO "dry" faster.
Thanks for being the first to show this. I am doing exactly this on some Ikea dressers for my bedroom and haven't been able to find a good tutorial on what to use for staining. Very helpful.
I started mine "winging it" then I figured I better come make sure what to do next and fortunately I was doing it right!! LOL Very cool!! Thanks for the video!!
I like to see people using their heads to create different things. Congratulations on your work as it will be useful to thousands of people around the world who will not have to retake the tests. Hug!
Thanks for sharing , I got inspired after watching your video , I went to my local Home Depot - they had no idea of the colored stain . I’ll try again tomorrow , bringing this video to their attention ..
I was able to get Lowe’s to mix it recently, and I’m using it in my next video. I’ll give the color code so anyone can have it mixed, although some places won’t do it bc it’s not an approved Minwax color. Home Depot no longer carries Minwax products.
I wasn't sure what to think, but in the end, I was really impressed with the colors. I don't usually care for them, but there was enough contrast that it became a background color. Thanks!
Just recently discovered your channel and I’ve already learned so much. Your detailed explanations are so informative and they provide key info that many RUclipsrs tend to leave out. For example, you talked about not pouring too much epoxy at once so it doesn’t go exothermic and about how to space out your pours. I must have watched a hundred epoxy how-to videos and never heard someone explain it so simply. Very helpful. Thanks! Hope you continue to have success and I’ll be looking forward to more cool project videos.
Beautiful! I've never heard of or seen this technique. Now I want to try it on EVERYTHING. 😁 It combines all the fun of color and still letting the beautiful wood grain show through. Just love it. Thanks!!
When I am done burning I wire brush and hose the wood to clean off the soot. After hosing the wood I let it dry in the sun. I did my man cave walls that way I used 144 pallets which took 4 months . The wood came out great the work of and artist I must say.
Haven't watched all of your videos, but this is the first I've seen with you talking in it. Your work is fantastic, and your explanation just added a new layer for me. Great video, keep it up!
Very well explained and informative. I realize there are many options for staining and I like this one because it's easy to get at either the blue or orange stores. Question though...how did you choose color and do you recall the color names?
You can make your own wipe-on polyurethane finish (for half the price) by mixing half mineral spirits and half oil-based polyurethane. Brush the first coat on heavy to let the wood drink up all it can. Add more if needed. Wipe off any puddles before it gets sticky. Let it dry, then go over it lightly with 400 or 600 grit wet/dry sandpaper. Just a quick once over to remove any nubs. You can feel when the finish is smooth. Add more coats to build up the finish by wiping it on with soft cotton rags. (Buy them in the paint department or use t-shirts.) You can get a quicker build with 25/75 mineral spirits to polyurethane. Use naptha to replace half the mineral spirits for a quicker drying finish. If you want a satin or semi-gloss finish, you only need it for the last coat. Gloss poly for the earlier coats will help the finish have a deeper appearance. I find it to be super simple and quick. All coats after the first can be done with a wetted rag just to make the whole surface look wet. Let it dry and go over lightly with sandpaper. The only down side is it takes more coats to build up the finish. I tried brushing and even spraying, but this is so easy and quick and gives a great looking finish. As always, have good ventilation. Throw out used rags. The rags I bought from Menards will last me a long time. I cut each piece into four and fold each into about a 2" pad.
I am always trying new finishes on my LBI NJ jobs. I do alot of different techniques, but this is new to me, i look forward to trying this shou sugi ban , ty for your ideas and vidios
I am so thankful for this video I've been looking for a tutorial how to do the colored technique and have found nothing. You have the only video that explains how to do it that I have found I was starting to think it was some kind of secret this helped a lot I'm going to go out and try it today
Wow. I've never seen this technique before. Thanks for giving such a detailed video to explain it. I would love to try this on a project. And I must agree that the wipe on poly was perfect for pulling out the beauty of that wood grain. Thanks again for sharing. So glad I found your Channel.
I've been trying to figure out the colored shou sugi ban for awhile now, thankfully I stumbled across your video. This is great and very well explained. Thank you so much from a new subscriber.
Great video. I actually bought one of those torches several years ago for weeds, but have neither used it for weeds nor wood yet. Wipe-on poly is basically just overpriced thinned down poly. You could possibly cut your finishing costs in half by wiping on regular polyurethane, which also expands your options to spar urethane to reduce fading.
Can spar varnish be ok to use on a butcher block..after the burn n stain. These boards look great. Easy to wipe off...could spar varnish still be food safe? Or no?
Nice, i can't recall seeing any coloured stains like this in the stores i use in the UK but i do recall seeing a tutorial using watered down acrylic paint for colouring wood "like white wash" will have to give this a go. Thanks
Amazing! The wood looks so beautiful. I wish I could apply the technique to my solid wood table top in the kitchen. Unfortunately I live in a Condo building so using a torch like that to burn the wood would probably set off the smoke detectors. However my kitchen table is fairly small so perhaps I could do it with a very small handheld torch that won't let off too much smoke?
in my attempts, I always got very mixed and inconsistent results what ended up working well was this: 1. prepare the wood(cut, plane, etc.) 2. sand it if it's silky smooth as from a very sharp plane 3. give it some linseed oil 4. after 5 mins with linseed oil, start torching it the result is a much more consistent burn the wire brush works ok, but it also scratches the wood, try the plastic brushes such as for carpet cleaning
Great detailed instructions. Awesome. I'm working on an old wine box that I'm turning into a smoking box for smoked cocktails. Have you ever tried staining two different colors, where they blend into one another. That's what I'm gonna try, thanks for awesome inspiration.
Excellent video, concise, clear, informative exactly what we need thank you. I've seen the Alligator method done on a fence, the rain drips off it like water off a ducks back! I've not seen this method with the addition of stain and varnish... I have one problem with it... I'm racking my brain to trying to think of somewhere I could use it... give me time I'll think of place it looks fantastic 👍😉👍 BIG THUMBS UP 👍 😆 👌
Thanks so much for this video. I’ve been looking for this technique for awhile and haven’t found one that worked! Very good video and beautiful work. Thanks.
Thank you - My only problem is that my husband has already built the gate. It is still bare wood, so I hope I can get the stain to work if I just pick up applying and hand-sanding... don't wanna mess up!
Thank you for the Video. I am doing research so I can take my Cherry Wood Bar Top and Shou Sugi Ban it then hit it with some Red Dye and ultimately shellac it for the Water repellent properties.
Arrick Andreson They get more credit for what they do compared to others because people always say "The japanese way...", "The japanese technique..." They're hyped more.

This is just super helpful...I've done the alligator skin, but I learned a lot. you explained all the options really clearly and concisely. Well done!
Thanks, Mike! Your shou sugi ban video was one of the first times I saw the technique in practice. I started researching it, and here we are. Thanks!!
You took it far beyond what I did -- the student became the teacher! Now I'm excited to try the stain combos on a future build.
I bet you willmake something amazing!

Thanks Johnny applying this to a parametric piece I just completed. Gonna go with the red, the blue looks amazing.
I wasn't sure what to think, but in the end, I was really impressed with the colors. I don't usually care for them, but there was enough contrast that it became a background color. Thanks!
I am thinking about doing walls in my camper using shous sungi ban. Atleast you have clearly explained how to. Thank you
I would never have thought of finishing wood like this. Great video 👍👍👍
Thank you!
My world has once again been expanded. This is soo cool and Im really into it. Might use in the future.

I love this. I've always wondered how they get the grain to "pop" and this seems very easy to do.
That was completely mesmerizing.
Well done, sir.
Que tipo de tinta o pintura utilizaste? Saludos de México

I find a brass brush works well. I Shou Sugi Ban my deck which was a lot of work but looks great.
What's the best bang for the buck top coat to protect it from the rain/snow Midwest weather?

Dude, this is GNARLY! I would've finished one with raw linseed oil to bring out the tones for a more natural look.
Excellent informative video the wood and colours look amazing
Had a Great time, Aloha from Honolulu Hawaii
That is beautiful. Love how it brings out the woodgrain.
Thank you!
ive been wanting to do a 1x4 pine plank ceiling in one room, but never thought to do a wood burn on it first. ill give it a go, then with the blue!
Awesome! Thanks for checking it out!
That was cool. I have just used a vinegar stain on my wood but will try this technique. Thanks.
I have been thinking about this for furniture build. Thanks for the video!
Started a couple projects using this art---never thought of staining, though.
Very nice video and well presented . Thank you!!
That was awesome, I'm going to give it a shot this summer.
Thanks so much for this video. I’ve been looking for this technique for awhile and haven’t found one that worked! Very good video and beautiful work. Thanks.
Thanks Robert!
Love this idea, thank you!
I'm going to try it on walking staffs!
Absolutely gorgeous technique. I can hardly wait to give it a try. Thanks for sharing!!
Omg that was the look I want for a wall I have! Thank you for the GREAT video! SUBSCRIBED!
Thanks a million Jonny, that was very nice of you. 👍🏻 Respect.
Gotta love the Minwax poly. The spray is great for small projects. But yea, wipe on is the OG way and my favorite method of finishing.
I can see the artist potential in this
Very cool, I'm seriously going to attempt this on a coffee table project.
Thanks, brother! Can’t wait to see the final results!
Hey man im doing Wood Work at school and i cant wait to try this and show my teacher!
Awesome! Send me a pic when you do!
Thanks for the video. I want to do a shou sogi ban shiplap style ceiling in my family with 3-4 contrasting colors. I like that Turquoise you use.
That will look great!
SUPER helpful and can't wait to try it. thanks for sharing
Thank you for showing us how to do that. I want to give that a try.
Wow - what a beautiful effect!
Awesome tutorial. Gonna try the red on a 4x6 post. Mailbox project
Thanks buddy!
Great quick and simple video. Thanks!
So amazing and beautiful! Thanks for showing it!!
Amazing. I am making my new wooden gates and was gona jus stain them but I will now burn them as this is the best preserver for wood iv read.
Thank you - My only problem is that my husband has already built the gate. It is still bare wood, so I hope I can get the stain to work if I just pick up applying and hand-sanding... don't wanna mess up!
Thank you for making my house so much more colorful. You aight mang!
Thank you for the Video. I am doing research so I can take my Cherry Wood Bar Top and Shou Sugi Ban it then hit it with some Red Dye and ultimately shellac it for the Water repellent properties.
Impressive technique thoroughly explained. Thanks.
Amazing technique! Definitely going to try it. Thank you 🙏
Mil gracias! Excelente video explicativo
Siempre quise saber como se logra la tecnica correcta para lograr ese efecto en la madera
Where is he link for the torch you mentioned you would put below in the description?
Thanks
Looks amazing man!
The Japanese bring perfection to anything. An amazing dedication
