Woodturning | Shou Sugi Ban Bowl | Yakisugi Charred Bowl

Shou Sugi Ban or Yakisugi (Charred Cypress Plank) is a Japanese technique for the preservation of construction timber, typically Cypress. The technique has found its way into the West as an art, and even into woodturning. In the video, I explore the technique using Cypress bowl blanks I turned a year or so ago. I also add a little of martin Saben Smiths Intrinsic colours to enhance the effect. Most significant issue was the wood cracking during the charring process. I suspect its in the nature of this softwood. One option might be to char the bowl below hollowing. William Hunt woodturner.
