Been looking all over for someone to give this kind of tutorial. Usually guys just give a real quick burn or something. It was nice seeing everything from start to finish, especially with different finishes.
Thanks!
Here's a fun little rabbit hole for you! LOL
czcams.com/play/PL0W-uMVelvoMDILopWI4pcHrdkkw8giDI.html
Cheers
Been following you for a while and I really appreciated this video. I cannot wait to try my hand at Shou Sugi Ban all because of your videos. Keep it up bud!
Thanks, Lee! And good luck. Let me know how it turns out.
Cheers
thank you so much for this video. Ive been subscribed for a while now. I just got my first torch over the past weekend and cant wait to practice what ive learned from your channel.
Awesome!
Cheers
You have got to be he coolest guy on diy woodworking. Love your channel. I just started woodworking since this covid stuff has been going on and actually been doing shou sugi ban since starting it. Just never knew it was called that. I have learned a lot from you. Appreciate how detailed and down to earth you are with everything. Keep it up
Thanks Jay! That means a lot.
Cheers!
I agree. He is funny, and he knows his stuff. I really learned a lot.
This tutorial definitely helped me better understand the process!
Awesome!
Cheers
Thanks for the detailed instructions. I watch a lot of videos and you do the best job teaching that I see.
I appreciate that!
Cheers
Another excellent and informative video! You really got in depth with this technique. Cheers!
Thanks Val!
Cheers my brother
Thanks 🙏taught me what I needed to know to be capable of a beautiful finish on a mother’s day gift. I appreciate the way you cut to the facts without the nonsense and lull of most.
Glad you dug it!
Cheers
Big fan here! Love your videos and am using a lot of your advice and techniques making some cool stuff. Keep up the great work! 🇺🇲
Thanks Mark!
Cheers
I've just discovered Shou Sugi Ban (I know? Where have I been?) Your tutorials are out there...by far the best in terms of quality of product, teaching, enthusiasm, ideas and entertainment. I can't wait to get started. Keep up the good work. You're awesome.
Marion
Thank you!
Cheers
Tried my hand at my first one. I didn’t have any of your stains, but it came out very well still. The texturing from the burn never captures how amazing it actually is. Really takes seeing it in real life to fully appreciate. I used a weed torch. Shelf fell down so I took the opportunity to sand it, remove the hardware (hooks, hanging brackets) and redid it. It’s looks 10 times better. 💪 love your vids man
Thank you!
And agreed...the texture doesn't translate well to video.
Cheers!
Great video!
I suggest trying to use steel wool for brushing after some deep burns.
I tried and it removed the char pretty easily, even doing it manually.
I ended up with a very nice aspect.
Thanks for the info!
Cheers
Nice work as usual my friend! Keep on burnin, stankin, and drankin!
LOL
Thanks Bryan!
Will do.
Cheers
Awesome bro!! I need to do this soon.
Yes you do!
Cheer brother
Enjoyed the video I've been playing around with making these types of pieces and hadn't gotten what I was looking for. But after watching this I have a better understanding of how to do it. So thank you and keep up the great work I subscribed today. I will join as soon as I can to help grow grow your channel. Lost my job so a bit strapped for cash now but definitely want to help out thanks
Awesome! Thanks for the sub.
Cheers
*and good luck on the job hunt!
I think I’ve watched all of your videos. Every time I search for shou sugi ban you pop up. When you showed the difference in the wire brush and the Nyalox you showed the Nyalox side twice 🤣🤣🤣 My wire brush actually makes it look like yours did with the Nyalox bits. Definitely going to invest in the Nyalox bits though! Wire brush kills my hands 😂 You’re sense of humor is like mine. We’d have too much fun in a shop together 🤣🤣🤣 Love your show man, keep it up!
LOL Good work.
Cheers
Such a good video..Ive looked through hundreds just looking for the very simple answer to using normal propane torch or weed burner..youre the only one who explains it
Awesome! I've got a whole play list devoted to this process if you're interested.
czcams.com/play/PL0W-uMVelvoMDILopWI4pcHrdkkw8giDI.html
Let me know if you have any questions!
Cheers
@@BuildDadBuild will definitely be watching
digging the content and your style brotherman! subscribing! can't wait to watch a bunch more of your stuff
All aboard!!! 😜😜
I'm assuming you're a veteran based on the blanket you're using as a "drop cloth". Excellent video, thanks for the education and several good laughs. Single malt scotch for me please.
Not a veteran. Although appreciative of those who serve(d). But I do have a couple of those blankets laying around. LOL
Cheers!!
Nick
Do you ever fill in the textured surface with a clear filling (epoxy?) to keep the colors but maintain a smooth texture-less surface? I have a door that I have torched and want it to be smooth again and am curious if you have any suggestions for filling the surface while maintaining the burn patterns.. Also, (side note) I use an air compressor to blow off excess dust then do a light wipe with a damp cloth.
I haven't done that...exactly. I did something similar with my punisher table.
czcams.com/video/fS2fD3my6fA/video.html
I'd use Table Top epoxy from Total Boat. I've always had it stay crystal clear and it's self leveling. Just do a flood coat.
Cheers!
@@BuildDadBuild Awesome! Thanks for the info!
Always good to hit the basics
Right?!
When you showed the after photos of the sun bleached with steel wool and without, did you label them backwards?
Great videos, keep up the good work.
Thank you!
Cheers
I love your attitude. Dude you got a lot of energy that’s great.

Hi! Thank you for all the excellent/informative videos! Much appreciated...If you can't get a hold of Maker's Simple Finish what is your favorite alternative? They are currently out of stock so....
Hey Kristie!
They're always out of stock! LOL They can't make enough of it.
My suggestion for a similar look is Boiled Linseed Oil.
Cheers!
@@BuildDadBuild thank you!! It’s because of your videos I have new pandemic projects! So many things to burn lol
Basically, awesome!
LOL Stan!
Cheers
I got those brushes which were awesome. Couldn't use the face mask because it fogged up my Bob the Builder safety glasses, so Black Boogers for a month 🤣😂
LOL. You gotta pinch that nose clamp tight!
Cheers
You're maestro of wooden arts. Thank you so much
Thanks Sway!
Cheers
Hey there never done this method before, plan on it very soon. But wonder cause I'm gonna be doing a bigger build to prolong the life of nyalox brushes I've purchased like the nylon bathroom brush you've got but more rounded brush that will attach to my drill. Have you tried other nylon drill attached brushes??
Big fan by the way your sunbleached Sugi ban is why I'm gloving up.
I have used some other brushes with varying success. I'd still say the Nyalox brushes are the best I've found as far as durability.
Cheers!
Amazing tutorial for people to learn the basics. Well done sir 👍👍 🥃 🥃
Thank you! Cheers!
Hey Nick, great vids thanks and very helpful. I am making a piece of wall art. Kind of a mosaic using the cross section of a pine post, so the end grain will be on display. Can I burn and sand the ends using the same technique? Thanks in advance
Absolutely!
I did some coasters like that here:
czcams.com/video/4DzrfxUlDDo/video.html
Stay tuned too....I'm actually working on a piece that is similar.
Cheers
Great stuff, i’ll look out for it cheers
Awesome. I thought well I'll give it a shot. I'm painting in the shop shop I might as well learn from Nick again. Plus some kick butt music always help. Cheers. Keep it up.!!!!
PS... i hope ad sense is playing you got all the freaking commercial breaks. At least they were well timed at the dundas. 👍
Thanks, Devin!
Oh...AdSense pays...just not all that much. LOL
Cheers
Sir I'm loving the channel and your hilarious little edits lol. Question though, I have a customer who wants a light burn. I've put on spar urethane, but decided that I want to look into polyurethane. Do you think it'll make much of a difference?
Thanks, Victor!
I, personally, haven't noticed much of a difference between the two finishes. The only thing I've ever found with finishes is you get what you pay for. LOL
Cheers
Ok here’s what I learned from you!!
❤️
Nick, thinking about this process on wood planks in the back of my old truck. Trying to decide what type of wood. Thinking about the pine untreated decking boards. Your thought if this would be good or if you recommend something else. Thx.
I’ve done pine for the back of a truck before. 👍🏻👍🏻
Can you char knotty pine car siding or similiar wood so it can be used for outdoor house siding with very little other maintenance or some sort of one time application of something. I have the 500,000btu torch already as 5 of my arborvitaes can attest)now trellises) and the old van my neighbor used to park by them.
Shou Sugi Ban is a technique that is used to waterproof and preserve wood. You'll need to use boiled linseed oil after you burn.
Cheers
That is so awesome brother 🍻
Thanks, Moises!
Cheers
I'm looking at making a frame using this technique and grey stain. Would it be best to build the frame first, then use this technique? Or do this to the boards first, then cut and assemble the frame?
Hey, Jennifer!
I've thought about this...and here's what I came up with. If you don't mind if the frame looks rustic (ie not completely straight around the picture) then build and then torch. If you want those clean lines, I would burn the wood, joint the edges (then lightly burn the clean edges) and then assemble.
Cheers!
Love your work Nick. can you please link your flex shaft attachment as well ?
Thanks, Justin!
Here you go:

Looks awesome! Can you use mineral spirits to clean the burnt surface or would you recommend just sticking with water?
I think mineral spirits would work just fine.
Cheers
I love it, I’m going to try it
Sweet! You'll dig it!
Cheers
Did I see a video of you using a restorer for digging out the char? Do you recommend a certain restorer for Shou Sugi ban?
You did. I recently picked on up.
This is the one that was recommended to me.
amzn.to/37Je0rF
So far, no complaints!
Cheers
Hey mister, cheers , I have a killer rat rod 71 c10 I have used the shou sugi ban method for the wooden bed . Thanks for your videos again cheers . A couple of my boards ( 1 x6 pine ) have twisted is there a way to unwrap the board?
Easiest way after the fact is to torch the backside and see if you can bend it the other way.
Cheers
Great how to.
Thanks Josh!
Cheers
I have been enjoying your videos! I am making my wife quilt ladders and thought about burning the 6’ 2x4s and then finishing with a weathered grey. Any thoughts on?
Sounds great!
Do you happen to have any videos burning cedar? I’ve tried but it seems like it always comes out far too dark to look any good.
Hey Dylan!
I worked with Cedar some in this video:
czcams.com/video/DoBWpOzGMXc/video.html
Cheers!
The whole thing explained simply. Clinkies
Thanks, Paul!
Cheers bud
Have you tried old dog eared wood fencing? Gonna try burnin some and using unicorn spit. Any tips?
I've worked with cedar fencing in the past. Burnt up nice and good!
Tips with wood burning:
In my experience most folks don't burn deep enough initial. Burn the hell out of the wood. You can always back off if you don't like the results.
And with Unicorn Spit, it's very versatile. You can use it as a stain or add water and use it as a dye.
Cheers
Hey boss doing a picnic table with the dye stained what’s the best outdoor gloss clear you have used with stained wood for outdoors furniture. I can snag at Home Depot or lowes ?
Not sure about the big box stores. I'd go with Total Boat Halcyon.
Maybe an outdoor clear deck topcoat?
Cheers
I’m new to this and I want to learn the art of the wood burning and making them the most bad ass colors possible.
Hey Jannell!
Definitely check out this play list!!

This was by far the best tutorial I’ve seen! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
Great video! ty
Awesome video.
Thanks, brother!
Cheers
quick question does the soft wood need to be plained and smooth first or just go at it naturally
If you're going for a deep burn just go to town. The fire will create a texture and the nylon brushes smooth it out.
Cheers
Do you have any videos where you burned it all black. Not too much charged areas and left it. Didn’t scrape it off. Thinking about doing this and putting a matte polyurethane on it.
I did a punisher table that I sealed with epoxy.
Nice just came from TIKTOK 😅 already love your stuff
Welcome to the Fray!
Cheers
Can I use an oil based primer and then a latex paint on tongue & groove porch boards that are torched for a more historic look?
I've never really combined oil and latex, so not exactly sure. I'd do a test piece and see.
Nice (and funny too :-D ) end to end demo!
I have a curiosity: would it be possible to treat cork surfaces in a similar way? Like those cork rolls used to insulate floors or walls. It's a nice material but it somehow lacks character, since it's pretty uniform, and I wonder if a shou shugi ban-inspired treatment would make it more interesting. Do you think you could make a test?
Hey Cristiano!
I've never used this technique with cork. I'd think it would have limited results if you did a light burn!
Cheers!
Great tutorial video and very well done. Quick question...what's the name of the flex shaft for your drill? I have one for my Dremel and it makes all the difference in the world so I'd like to try it on my drill when I use the Nyalox brushes. Keep up the good work Nick and cheers!
Thanks, Greg!
Looks like I forgot to add it in the description. Thanks for the heads up.
Here's the link!

@@BuildDadBuild I'm sorry, but the flex shaft for the drill you are using in the video look bigger than the one in Amazon with the 1/4-Inch Keyed Chuck, is it the same?
@@fernandoalvarado165 Fernando, that is the exact one I ordered from Amazon.
Cheers!
I’m a new subscriber just getting into this technique and have a question for you. If I’m building say a floating shelf with my corners 45 degrees and glued would I cut and assemble the shelf after the burn? Is assembling and then burning the way to go? I was nervous that with a heavy char I would open gaps in my corners if I assembled first.
I love you videos brother. Keep them coming please!!!!
Hey Brady!
Welcome to the Fray.
If you're doing mitered corners, I would suggest cutting your stock a little long, burning and then cutting your 45s after the fact. You can always come in and give the edges a light torch to match the rest.
Cheers
Good stuff
👍👍👍👍👍
Great video quick question after a finish project how is the smell will the wife complain about the burnt smell in the house if the finish project is for indoors
Thanks!
The smell goes away fairly quickly. If you finish it, it'll be gone completely.
Cheers
I had I question if you put the video at 15:30 what type of burn did you do on the top left background piece? Looks like a bar or a frame
It’s a workbench. That’s just a light surface burn.
The keeper of the snapper has demanded I make a headboard.thanx your advise is appreciated. Heard that bullit is gooood. Next on my list I'm on a Pendleton kick lately but I'm kinda fond of a canadian whiskey. Scotch bourbon, I guess most of them. Bullit rye is next. Two birds with one stone. Anyway this vid is 6 months old and you are so much more up summers coming Nick. Had a friend that suffered thru the winters he was a survivor of the war in Bosnia great guy . Winter took him he hung himself. He had no family you do so chin up. Winter bites blizzard tomorrow and - 42 windchill by sun. Think I might just stay in bed. Single digits for 7 days predicted. So burn baby burn :-)
Wow. Sorry to hear about your buddy. And fire and whiskey keep you warm!
Cheers
@@BuildDadBuild yeh nice guy I was given the chance to instruct him as a truck driver became my friend he chose a local job and a year later pulled that stunt . I guess he was alone in a new country his 7th in his migration to freedom and the jehovah's got hold of him in his weakness and loss of his own faith he called it muslims killing muslims in turn his father shunned him and he couldn't celebrate Christian holidays due to his new faith I told him thanksgiving was a gathering of friends and family to give thanks for all our blessings and to share a meal together . His new faith didnt allow that. Wish it had I'm not a bible beater but his inability to adjust to life here alone killed him .thank you for listening. Sorry I know its heavy Zamier deserved better. Nuff to make a man drink at least that's my excuse tonite cheers nick I like folks with heart and you proved to me that you have heart. Keep up the good work . Larry.
I want to do burnt wood on my business sign that we are building. So two questions. After burning what is the best thing to use to clear coat it ? Second question if I do a light stain after I burn it do I need to do a clear coat over the stain? I know nothing about wood so have no clue what is the best clear to put on it
you can seal it with any type of top coat you like.
So I got a question I'm making a headboard for my bed and I'm going to sand the wood down to make it smooth then I want to burn it to make the wood grain pop and then I want to stain it with like a walnut color satin cuz I don't want a lot of shine after I burn it do I sand it or is it ready to stain once it's burned hope to hear from you soon thanks for any help in advance
I never sand after I brush. The nylon brush smoothed it out.
Okay cool so I should sand it burn it with my torch and then it's ready to stain no more sanding after I burn it with the torch
what kind of whiskey :) I liked the last puoypal look, but trying to get more of the first one natural look. Going to use on 1/4" T&G Knotty Cedar (Entablondo) for van ceiling so keeping as simple as possible. Saw video using a tangerine stain(or dye?)on pine giving a tigerish tone with the blacks really popping that I liked. What stain or dye would you advise for antural to honeyish look. Interior van is beige.?. I like the color of the shelf behind you Thanks for great tutorials. Should I use a nylon or wire wheel brush with the drill or by hand
Thanks, Paul!
I think that was Bulliet Bourbon.
The shelves behind me are pine with a surface burn, no finish. For the interior of a van I'd use a wood oil (something like Simple Finish by Maker Brand Co) to give it that warmth. If you want to dye it to change the color, look into Keda Wood Dyes (you can mix what ever color you want with them).
And the you can hand brush or use the drill attachment. The drill attachment just saves so much time!
Cheers!
Build Dad Build thanks for getting back to me. This is the cedar I bought from Depot- 1/4 in. x 3.5 in. x 96 in. Western Cedar Planks (6-Pack) - 14 sq. ft. It’s pretty smooth stock. zoom in for look at grain pattern to see how it would look doing a surface burn as with your shelves also with trying a light coat of that tangerine color you referenced in the video. But if using the stain if it would end up killing the cedar aroma
@@paulstephens9274 Hey Paul, can't see pix in here. You can email me at nick@builddadbuild.com if you want to send me a photo.
Using stain would probably kill the aroma.
Thanks for video! I like the sun bleach. I see that company also has an "antique white". Have you tried that one?
Hi Nick..I tried to deep burn a wood with dimensions of 60 x 25 x 1.8 cm but it bent in the middle..why did this happen?
The longer the piece, the more likely it is to warp. Try burning the backside to straighten it back out.
Cheers
Thank you :-)
You are welcome!
Nice...
Thank you! Cheers!
Not sure if you have tried it but I use Pre Stain to clean mine after burning
Good tip!
Cheers
always the best tunes
Thanks!
Good stuff👍 Where did you pick up the Makers? Need to add some to my collection. Disregard that question, looked below.....
LOL
Thanks, Terry!
Hi there, maker brand simple finish is no longer making that stain. Any recommendations
Yes. Boiled Linseed Oil. It's cheap and gives a similar result.
Cheers
Soo after you apply what do you use and how much longer after applying do you wipe the stain with ?
Hey Timothy!
I usually apply and just wipe off any puddling that may occur. I usually use a cotton rag.
Cheers
Worthy of subscription 🙌
Thanks, Rob!
Cheers
Out of curiosity, can I do the purple and then put the oil on the top of that..?
You sure can!
Cheers
Thanks for the tutorial as I'm about to embark on the journey of Shou Sugi Ban! Wish me luck! Do you sand in btw coats? Can I use hair dyes?
Sure thing!
I do not sand between coats. And I've never used hair dye, but I think it might work.
Cheers
@@BuildDadBuild Thanks
@@namelesswarrior4760 Sure thing!
When you removed the layer of burnt wood by using brushes and exposing the natural color of the wood, is this piece of wood still protected by the remaining layer of the charcoal? Could you still use it in the project outdoors and not be worried about contact with the elements? I am just a bit worried that if you remove too much of the charcoal and expose the original wood layer, that it is not protected by the burning process anymore as much as it would be if you have not brushed so much charcoal off of the wood.
In this application I'm not concerned about it being weather proof. However I have seen siding done the same way. Burned then brushed before installation.
Cheers
Ok! You’re stuff in fantastic! I want to do this treatment on a big project-the railing around my pool deck. I live on a canal in Florida. Should I start with marine treated wood? Can that be safely burned? Or does burning and sealing serve the same purpose as marine treatment? Thank you for great content!
If you are referring to the timber which has a green appearance, it won't work. The chemicals used to treat the lumber turns ii into a "wooden brick". I use a few of them as a base when I burn. Use a good pine and follow up with a stain or water sealant.
Hey Diane!
Terry's correct. And it will release those chemicals into the air. You'd be better off with untreated wood with a good solid topcoat!
Cheers
Can i use my WW II flame thrower ? Im making a few coasters.
Yup
Simple finish is sold out what would you recommend as a backup to simple finish this is for a outdoor project.
Probably boiled linseed oil or danish oil
@@BuildDadBuild thank you sir
Does the method give your wood waterproof properties? I would like to paint - burn beehives. Nice video, very detailed. Thank you.
It is supposed to waterproof the wood. That being said, I usually do a topcoat anyway, even if it's just oil.
Cheers
Antika bir kapı icin bu teknik uygulanır mi yıprandı boyanması gerekiyor ama ben boyatmak istemiyorum orijinal halinde kalsin istiyorum teşekkürler
Yes.
Would I be able to use laminated white wood panels to make shoi soui ban
Sure!
Great video content and commentary. I am planning to make an american flag similar to what I can see in the background ~10 min. Got any tips for that? Specifically, should I burn the wood before I glue the different sections together?
You can see that build here:
czcams.com/video/lezbNju1p-M/video.html
Cheers
Can anybody advise me on how to get this result without a torch? Can I get the same result from using natural fire? My biggest concern with using natural fire is that it doesn't have a directional thrust, if that makes sense. You can direct a torch because of the gas pressure which you don't have with natural fire. Any tips?
Is it possible to do this on pressure treated pine deck that is already in place? I would love to do this on our deck. It has been in place for almost 4 years
You can. However, please be mindful of what you're releasing when you burn pressure-treated lumber. The chemicals in the lumber are toxic. Wear a respirator and make sure your neighbors aren't within close proximity.
@@BuildDadBuild It's a good thing I don't have neighbors. LOL.. Will I need to brush it and seal / stain it or will I be able to just let it be natural after that?
@@landonweatherly4258 Probably brush and seal...since you'll be walking on it, the char will come loose if not.
Do you only use the grey 80 grit Nyalox brush or do you use the other grits as well?
I mainly use the 80 grit. Occasionally I use the orange...never the blue! LOL
Cheers
@@BuildDadBuild thank you!
I like your videos bud also the whiskey
Does the fire weaken the wood, or does it have any kind of negative impact on the quality of the wood?
The only time it would weaken the wood is if you burnt it to deep and caused it to split.
Cheers
Thanks for the video..., any issues (splitting or cracking) using a brad nail gun after you stain, to put up on garage wall?
@@GB-qi3xt I've used brad nails with no problem.
Hello. You didn't mention a Dye Stain and what the difference would be with that. Your thoughts??
Hey Mark!
I'm not sure what your question is. There is a difference between dye and stain. Usually dye penetrates deeper than stain.
Cheers
@@BuildDadBuild I have a Dye Stain all in one. I guess that would do both of what they do individually, right?
I have a beech rifle stock, would it work on that?.? Cheers
Depends on the grain.
*_Fire! Fire! FIRE!_*
What about structural plywood? Have you tried it? Will it work?
You can do a light burn. But deeper burns will burn through the face ply.
Can you do pressure treated wood? Or bad idea?
Bad idea. You'll turn the chemicals they used to treat the lumber into noxious fumes.
Cheers
How would you handle charring a 4'x8' plywood?
Light surface burn. Too hot / deep will burn through the top layer of ply and can even cause the glue between plys to bubble.
Cheers
What about different colours because I’ve seen blue green yellow orange red they all look amazing. I find them more attractive than just plain what
