Shou Sugi Ban Anybody?

If you think that might be some kind of sushi dish, it’s not. It means “charred cedar board” and Tim Hagen is using a Tiger Torch and some of his own ingenuity to burn/preserve boards for cedar siding. Check out his conveyor belt/burner set up and see what the finished product looks like.
How about that Shou Sugi Ban deck!
