Find out if this technique lives up to its promises in this video shot a year later: • Sharing experience: The technique of... This Shou-sugi-ban or Yakisugi technique, of Japanese origin, allows you to naturally protect cladding wood by carbonization. It seems that this protection can last up to 80 years... So I won't be there to check it out... The carbonized wood film creates protection against UV rays, bad weather and insects. Traditionally, it is cedar, hence the name Sugi, that is protected in this way, but it seems that all conifers lend themselves to this method. Once the wood is carbonized, it is wetted, then the charcoal residue is brushed off. When it is dry, it is generously brushed with linseed oil to perfect the finish. A series of fairly long operations, but which in theory guarantees a perfectly natural and durable wood treatment.
