PERSONALIZED SERVICE
Shou sugi ban is a traditional Japanese technique used to preserve wood charring its surface. The process begins with selecting the type of wood, which is then cleaned and prepared. Next, the wood is exposed an open flame, allowing the surface to burn and create a charred layer. Finally, the charred wood is cooled, brushed to remove any loose ash, and often finished with oil to enhance its durability and appearance. This technique not only protects the wood from decay and insects but also gives it a distinctive aesthetically pleasing look.
