Yakisugi ( 焼杉 ) Shou Sugi Ban ( 焼杉板 ) Yakiita ( 焼板 ) Burned wooden siding

- Our favorite method of wooden siding. A combination of old Amish Board and Batten hanging technique and Japanese burned wood preservation. This combination gives one of the strongest, most beautiful and longest lasting wooden wall coverings possible. I will give a brief description of each practice individually below:
Amish B&B siding is a bit different than normal in that the wide boards are hung first by a single centrally placed nail, or peg, which just hangs the board in its place until the battens can be firmly fixed into position. Each board is first "read" to determine top and outside of the tree which the board came from, each board should be placed right side up as it grew and bark side out. This ensures as the board drys and cups naturally, it will push against the battens, holding it in position but also allowing expansion and contraction to occur seasonally. The battens are attached either with nails, screws or twine and wedges BETWEEN the wide boards, not through them.
Japanese burned wood siding is an ancient technique that protects wood from all things detrimental to its longevity, weather, insects, UV light, and so on. It can be don't in many ways, but the the level of burn should be fully charred for best protection. Natural vegetable based drying oils, linseed, tung oil, canola etc can be sprayed on afterward to further protect the wall.
With this channel, this man is giving us a glimpse into the future of humanity.
Just for the ones who make it
without saying a word you've taught me so much. Thank you!
Traditional Shou Sugi Ban finish (blackened) looks amazing. Utilizing primitive carpentry tools is the cherry on top, strong work.
I learned more from this video than 5 "how-to" videos with somebody doing their best to explain every second of what they're doing.
I like that! In german we said "Deckelschalung". This flaming boards are water resistant. It's a beautiful way to show the world what is going wrong. Sustainable work for a long time. Zero waste, no co2, more nature, more future! Peace ✌🏼 greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 🌳🌿🌲🍃🍂
This is cool, but saying "no co2" when the process involves a LOT of burning of wood (thus releasing a lot of co2) is kind of way off the mark.
@@mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm6756 Agreed!
No CO2 is a bit of a stretch, but I will agree that a person with hand tools can get a lot of work done, yet be a lot more efficient at a complex task than most automated machinery. This way the consumed materials per person is also limited to a more nature friendly level so it's the most CO2(and lets remember this is one of many greenhouse gasses)-neutral way of building a cabin there is that I can imagine, just plant a few trees and you've made up for the whole process in some years c:
Magnitudes less than what is produced in conventional manufacturing and shipping of building materials. Then factor in the chemical waste and non biodegradable materials used during manufacture. Then factor in the need for a power plant to run the machinery and the impact that creates on the environment. You are off the mark.
Charring boards for siding produces such an incredibly negligible impact to the environment even compared to primer and paint or other chemical means of protecting the wood.
@@mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm6756 CO2 from wood is part of the cycle and therefore not a big deal. A forest produces a certain amount of wood and a certain amount of wood decomposes each year. If the forest is young the new growth is faster than the decomposition, in an old and dense forest the growth is slower and in balance with the decomposition. So you can harvest a certain amount of wood to keep the regrowth high and the natural decomposition low, cause natural decomposition causes CO2 and methane in the same amount as burned wood does. The promlem is CO2 from external sources like coal and oil. These left the cycle milions of years ago and weren't meant to reappear by force.
You are the Best teacher, don't need to talk or explain, eveerybody can understand everything
I love every video of yours that I come across, even before watching it. Keep it up. Hopefully you inspire millions to switch to the sustainable ways of making things.
That's the plan!
I love this look. I've done my fair share of research on shou sugi ban and this is almost completely done the way that it was done originally, to my understanding. Do not listen to anyone that says that you "need to" wire brush. This method has lasted for centuries and the look is much more traditional in my opinion.
Thank you, lots of folks just parrot what they have seen elsewhere without really understanding or even thinking "why". Many wheels are being reinvented, often needlessly so.
@Cade Stafford, I've just discovered this method, and seen examples with the char left intact, or brushed off and oiled. Besides not getting as dirty if you lean against it, are there practical benefits to the latter? Or was it more for esthetic reasons? It was also noted in another comment that it varied by region.
Also, wouldn't oiling it make it less rot-resistant to fungus, molds, or even insects? (I've heard stories of squirrels, rabbits, and mice eating linseed oil-based putty from windows.)
@@MrChickadee, since you don't show it, I assume you didn't apply any oil?
@@lajohnson1ly the char resists insects (no nutritional value) and also absorbs uv light.
I never liked the wire brushed finish. Sadly it's sold everywhere since it's easy for manufacturing...
Love all the japanese woodworking techniques you've been incorporating. Also them's some tasty looking wood curlz you're burnin'! Love these videos they're so relaxing!
Love how you take time to place the boards in the growing direction of the tree, and make them curve the right way :)
I watched a guy build something, cant remember what it was but i remember him saying that you should alway put a vertical board in the upward position as the tree grew. I thought that was inspiring in a respectful way towards the tree.
How do we know the direction of growth?
@@lampadashorde5989 look at the rings or the growth pattern of any knots. There tend to be more rings in the width of a cut towards the bottom of a tree. Knots are caused by branches which, generally, slope upwards. At least that what I understand as a novice.
How well do those boards hold up without brushing off the charred surface? This step seems to be a major omission, as the beautiful hardened grains that comprise shou sugi ban are concealed underneath the char.
@@lampadashorde5989 That's simple- trees grow towards the light, generally upwards.
Beautiful "Shou Sugi Ban". I love it in this raw finished form....not brushed!!
Can't wait to do this on my pallet cabin. You make it look easy, but I know it's a lot of hard work and patience. Thank you for sharing your skills so clearly.
Semper Fi! Watching you work always brings a smile to my face. I was in from 2000-2004. I am so proud that someone like you, who takes the time to do things right, is also a brother Marine.
I respect people who are living war memorials also but there are many who butchered people with 50 caliber machine guns as 18 years old and one wonders why suicide rates are so high. So I say peace to all.
Always a pleasure to watch and learn from Mr Chickadee. Looking forward to your next project. Best wishes
thank you - All the videos i've seen so far say this is an ancient japanese technique as they're doing it with a blowtorch.
Loved seeing the traditional Japanese burn, thx.
Ahhh a new Mr.Chickadee video. All is better for awhile.
This technique produces beautiful furniture. The contrast between the burnished lumber and white wood such as maple is quite pleasing.
What I like the best, the sound. Thank you.
cool to see amish and japanese technique used for the wood siding. learned something new
Ingenious use of a forge!!
Great way with the blacksmith furnace, love it
This is great, love these videos please do more
Always a joy to see Mr. Chickadee.
Time honored methods are often times the best.
Hello good sir.... needed a new video thank you
Excellent video! Thanks from London England 👍
Looking great.
Liked how you show board orientation based on tree growth at the beginning.
Demonstrating in videos all the things you discussed in the class.
Did it make sense in the video?
For someone who went to the class - very much. For others, maybe not.
A quick pinned note to look for the text explanation might help.
absolutely love the ideology and craftsmanship displayed here.......
Looking good, I really enjoyed the gazebo build, I may be back for the next one.
Hi Don, we loved having you in the last class! We just opened enrollment for the fall class, and it sold out in a matter of hours, we will be working hard to get more classes together in the near future!
@@MrChickadee aww bummer, how did I miss it?
not only extremely talented but ambidextrous too
Be honest with me: how satisfying was it to push the charred boards into the snow and hear the ‘tssss’ sound all the way across?
Very ;)
Why charred the boards?
@@irwin209 to protect from rot and weather i assume
@@irwin209 If you read the description your question would be answered :/ :D
I burn treated a gazebo a few years back to test this Japanese technique. I found that it not only helped to keep the wood from rot but gave it a natural stain. I hope to learn and use more techniques such as this and building without nails or screws.
Wow what kind of wood was the gazebo made out of?
And how is it holding up since it has been 2 years since that comment lol
No don’t speak. Most pleasant to watch and learn from. Your work says it all.
I char all of my tool handles,this was cool to watch. Thanks!
Beautiful and well done!
Awesome Mr. C thank you for sharing.
A well done shed, ah hem. Nice job. Thumbs up.
Well done on the char.
This is used for the roofing planks as well.
Should the char level be kept lower to help shed water on a roof?
@@troyclayton do you see the metal roof?
I really like the texturized outcome of burning the wood planks. The esthetic as well as the preservation of the wood is quite beautiful. A tremendous amount of work, eh?
Work, or fun? ;)
You just earned a new subscriber. Saw a different video about this yesterday and found this while doing more research. (I'll be coming to look for you if the grid goes down.)
quite glad to see this video, timing is perfect. I chainsaw milled a ridiculous amount of tulip poplar over the last year (1.5 sheds full) . Been experimenting w ways to improve it's outdoor lifespan. Recently been considering burning the outside followed w layer of pine tar (or maybe other way around). Now you've given me great inspiration.
Tulip poplar responds well to burning, a deep charr followed with a spray of oil and pine tar will help as well.
@@MrChickadee thanks! poplar is the most abundant resource for me so anything i can do to extend it's outdoor usefulness is much appreciated (already great in the interior) that device you use at the end for burning the lumber is clever. I was just planning on going over each piece w a propane torch probably not the most efficient method ha
Great results!!!!!! Beautifully done!
When I did a load of scorched larch for a job couple years back, I stacked four boards like a box, horizontally, similar to the japanese traditional method, and used a roofing torch down both ends. Pretty quick you have a raging inferno. Did four boards in the time it took to do one by itself.
Fyi!
watching this 5 years later, i'd be interested to see how well it has stood up to the weather...could you do a revisit sometime of your various projects?
Looks about the same as the day it was installed, it appears in lots of videos.
@@MrChickadee did you use also some leanseed oil, or laquer?
Incredible! I love your work.
Wow! Looks great.
Awesome job buddy! It looks great!
hey look the first person I have ever seen who actually fastens board and batten properly....
What was once old is now a trend here on CZcams.
Nytimes had a piece on this trend
Awesome, I was waiting for your next upload. Thanks for showing us the way..
That combination looks great. As always very fine work and craftsmanship. I have been re-doing a siding board and batten style except the coverings are over a 70' mobile home. My wood source has been a collection of cedar fence pickets up cycled from communities that have put up new fences. The mixture of woods widths and heights has made the project really take shape. Some of the yards I have collected these boards from had square nails even. It has been a really fun project and looks super cool too. Added bonus is it has made that old mobile home more sound from the elements. It is my second home and more of a vacation cabin to me than a mobile home as it was set up nicely way back in the late 1960'S and was protected by a external tin roof building a top otherwise because it up in a much wetter and colder climate. I don't think that old tin can would be worth entering let a lone sleeping in. But it is like a time capsule where time seems to really slow down there. Only problem with it is time seems only get to go once a year off work during my vacation to work on my project. Time well spent just like yours.
definitely doing this technique justice over here.
Nicely done.
More patient than anyone I've seen.
I love you guys! I wish i could come help u for a summer and learn a thing or 2.. great work sir!
That must smell amazing.
Beautiful work. 👍👍👍
You sir are a amazing wood worker
thumbs up liked it alot nice movie almost gave me mindfulness
Now that looks awesome.
I've never seen that technique for charring the wood before I've only seen folks use tiger torches and lay the boards on an open fire. Your technique looks way more efficient and appears to have a more even burn. cool.
beautiful work
"how Wood you like your siding, sir ?" " medium rare "
Very interesting technique using three boards to make the rocket stove
really nice to see how this is done, love seeing old tools working again
Enjoyed the video and gave it a Thumbs Up
I didn't know about this, this is so cool!
Excellent marriage of two completely different woodworking styles.
😮 awesome technique
As always you bring craftsmanship to the table. I was a bit disappointed I figured you would use a flint and steel to start the fire!
And a stone axe I suppose your watching the wrong videos
Another cool video, it was only missing the 19th century attire.
You don’t need yet another glowing comment...but, hey, you certainly deserve it, so what the heck: Brother, I like what you do!
I'm very interested in the way you built the frame around the main structure. Anyway, congratulations on the ingenuity of burning sticks on the forge. I bought a gas tank and a torch for this operation. Now you gave me an idea, and I'll think about how to make my own air turbine and save propane.
Google search "larsen trusses" or "wall trusses" they are hung on the outside of the frame.
Looks really nice!
I love how every hit of the hammer sends a shower of snow off the roof. Maybe there should be a way to build a roof so that every few days you could stand on the ground and swing a heavy hammer to a central point and it would safely shake the whole roof and the snow would slide off. Ima be a millionaire (which is usually about the time usually someone points out my good ideas are already a thing in Sweden or Japan).
Beautiful!
Wow. This is the coolest video I've seen this year. Thank you so much for making this so people like me could see it. I just subbed and I'm drooling looking at what you've already done.
: )
I’ve never seen this done to the degree of charing that you’ve given the boards. And usually the boards were wire brushed and then oiled afterwards. I’m not criticizing just commenting. I’m curious to know what your thoughts are on this. Again I’m NOT criticizing at all. BTW are you a veteran? I love your work and appreciate your skills. It’s very peaceful watching your channel.
I agree about wire brush and oil. I am most afraid of fire though since charred material is easiest to light. Mr Chickadee is a Marine, occasionally when he is side on to the camera you can see in one ear and out the other. Semper Fi from a Navy Vet!
@@EldarKinSlayer the Marines are just part of the Navy.....the male part.
If the char has absorbed a drying oil (full saturation on surface), it shouldn't light up much easier than a natural board with an oil finish, should it? I'm not sure if the increased surface area created by a deep char is better at distributing heat or just more area for exposure. Granted that brushing removes material that will need to absorb a lot of oil.
@@EldarKinSlayer Char is much less of a fire hazard than plain wood. Char needs quite some temperature to even smoulder, whereas wood will pyrolyze and start throwing off spreading flames long before that.
The char also causes the wood to be water resistant, if you brush it off it will absorb again and will need an oil finish. I personally like bothe, so out side ive made a wooden door and ive burned and brushed it 3 times (with a wooden broom) then oiled it, doing it a couple times causes a big wavy pattern of the woodgrain to rise so much its not only felt but also seen from a distance. Inside i made a lamp from a 4 feet tall piece of oak (tree trunk) completely charred it and put 5 coats of laquer on it so the char wouldn't let go lol. All depends on what you like more esthaticly.
this channels gives an answer how to deal with climate change and what drives me the most: all kinds of environmental issues. I totally love this channel und I can't get my head around that one question: how to get a piece of quit land far from urbanized areas to start such a self empowered life.
Looks good!
Looks awesome But surely he is not leaving that roof on?
Great videos
Looks amazing! Will last a lifetime at least.
I like the use of the rivet forge. I may have try something like this on my forge - on a smaller scale. :)
すごい。一人でここまでするとは。かっこいい！感動です！
Amerika no Kansas-shu kara, konnichi wa!
What our friend is saying is. "It is amazing. What is it that you can do this alone. Cool! It's impressive!"
Your channel just popped up. I am binge watching everything that applies to my situation then I'll go back and watch everything else. QUESTION: I see big gaps between the rafters and the boards you are putting up. What are you doing to keep rodents out? I'm in Finland and it seems all of the mice come inside my workshop for the winter.
Rodent screen was applied around the bottom.
Just a trick a carpenter taught me is to hold your hammer with you thumb on top of the handle. Sort of like you're doing a thumbs up. This keeps your Hammer Square and you're less likely to bend Nails over.
Brilliant!
I built my house like that 40 years ago in Hawaiian rainforest, made of redwood, 2 storey, 2200 s.f. w/ Phillipine Mahogany floor...it took about 1.5 years
incredible
Wow, this is so beautiful. Thanks so much!
Wow! Very nice. One thing-have you ever considered recommending books? I imagine you have a great library accumulated and wise selection, and finding good sources has been tough, at least for a new traditional woodworker like myself!
So beautiful... what are your thoughts about sanding the wood after the Shou Sugi Ban? i'm thinking if the wood will retain the qualities of the technique, but not be black...
I would prefer to leave the char because it protects the wood from weather, bugs, and critters
Holy charcoal Batman! I had no idea you could char wood that much for this purpose.
I see numerous comments suggesting that you brush off the char that you just spent all that time and effort to achieve. People, the char is what repels the bugs, UV, and rain. Why would you remove it?
What's the reason for not filling the gaps around the windows? Wonderful job as always.
Wander what type of saws Mr c uses, they look like Disston’s, wander what the TPI he prefers.
There seems to be some sort of demand for old tools again these days.
They are good to pick up considering we a taught about it a college..
Nice to see Mr C keeping old school traditions alive..
Kind regards
Giles Booth
I have disstons, simonds, atkins, and others, so long as they are old (pre 1950s) they are typically good.
TPI depends on the job and stock at hand, green wood or rip sawing likes bigger teeth, maybe 4-6TPI, dry hardwood or crosscutting can use much smaller teeth, 9-14 TPI, I dont like any less than 16TPI as its too hard to see the teeth when sharpening.
Mr. Chickadee
My dad gave me a few Disstons, when I was at college, great saws and good to learn sharpening on as you say you can find them at the markets.
I was reading your training post.. and you were mentioning about tool buying tools.. it would be interesting to a list of the tools you use as you like the vintage kit.. just make an interesting read.
Watched quite a few of the vids... and have been looking about online.
Bet you have to many to list now 😉
Just out of interest how long did it take to build your workshop?
I was very impressed you did it all by hand.. tree to house.. a real pleasure to see.. and all by hand.
Love it, pure gold.
You said you learned a lot from the Japanese Joinery.. have you ever been over? Worth it if you haven’t.
I have a New Zealand friend and he loves watching videos like yours.
Looking forward to watching your next video, it’s been a while now.
Kind regards
Giles Booth
This craft is quite interresting. I have one question. At 01:40 you show what side to be out. Im curius why because it is the oposite of what i grew up with. I have allways been told to put the side closest to/pointing at the senter of the log, outside. (???)
Yes, @MrChickadee, I am curious to know your reason as well. I have seen from other videos that a plank will cup to the bark side. My guess is you want the plank edges to push against the batten in an effort to make a water tight seal. Is this correct? I have seen on other channels where they argue for having the bark side in. The argument is they nail a board in the center which prevents the board from cupping in because the edges of the board are restrained against the building. The argument is found on the Lumber Jack channel in the Framing and Siding with Green Lumber video. Your idea, Mr. Chickadee, makes more sense to me because you are actually using the tendency to cup as a method to secure a strong seal against the batten. Do I understand your intention correctly? Much thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
@MrChickadee, I see you have already answered my question at 6min 4sec in your video Japanese Timber Frame Blacksmith Shop gets Yakisugi (焼杉) Board and Batten Siding. It is just as I thought - you want the boards to cup against the battens for a tight fit. Your tip, "Place the board as it grows with bark side out and root side down" is a great way to remember. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Very original technology of a covering of the house!
