WOOD BURNING: SHOU SUGI BAN The studio for its various projects wanted to explore options for finishings of it’s wood products, that was ecological and low-cost. An option that stood out was the Japanese wood burning technique of Shou Sugi Ban. As a low tech solution the finish could be done in-house using a simple household LPG cylinder with a blow torch and using linseed oil as a sealant. This not only gave a modern rustic finish but also provides protection from water and insects. 50 // Professional
