The wife mentioned that we needed a new mantel for our fireplace. So since I've been wanting to try out Shou Sugi Ban or Yakisugi for a while now, I thought this would be the perfect time.
I used 3 cedar 4x4s for the mantel. Got them planed down to the thickness that I wanted, and then got started burning away. I'm not finished yet and won't get another chance to work on it until next week, but I think it's turning out pretty good.
Starting the burning.
Fully burned on one side.
Started to brush. Decided to do a heavy brushing on it.
I'll post some more pics when I get further into it. I haven't decided if I'm going to add any stain or just clear it. The burning and brushing really brings out a nice heavy grain in the wood.
