Today I tested an old Japanese technique to preserve wood. It’s called Shou Sugi Ban and is done by simply burn wood, brush it and seal it with oil.
Experts says that this will preserve wood for 80-100 years without any further treatment. If it’s oiled with tung oil every 10-15 years it will last even longer.
This is the first time I do this and I really like the antique look this gives the wood. It’s really simple and very cost effective.
