I decided to try my hand at shou sugi ban (the Japanese art of burning the surface of wood) while making some shelves and I'm super happy with how they turned out! Video in the comments if you want to see the process! 👀

Picked up this interesting #woodsculpture yesterday. Much of it appears to have been charred using the Japanese technique of #ShouSugiBan. Its heavy as hell and well preserved. Really interesting shape, color and detail.
