Original cut is a way of cutting the log that incorporates plain sawn, rift sawn and quarter sawn grain patterns and all grades and character marks into the final product. Common character marks include knots, checks, streaks and worm holes. Our CHARRED FLOORING is prefinished with our hardwax oil which is natural, non-toxic and 100% VOC-free. our hardwax oil produces a durable, matte finish that respects the natural look and feel of the wood.

CHARRED flooring designs are available as FSC ® upon request.

THE SHOU SUGI BAN PROCESS

reSAWN’s CHARRED collection features cypress, black walnut, red oak, white oak and reclaimed hemlock that is burnt in the Japanese tradition of shou sugi ban. Translated as “the burning of Japanese cypress (sugi)” or yakisugi, and traditionally used in Japan as exterior siding, this ancient technique is gaining new life as a unique and modern wood finish.

The wood is carefully charred, misted with water, cooled, brushed to remove dust and loose debris, and then stained/sealed to create the unique designs you will find in the CHARRED collection. The top coat sealer is applied prior to shipping (for exterior applications, we recommend sealing the face & back). The charcoal barrier created through this process preserves the wood, and is fire, rot and insect resistant. The burning process accentuates the wood grain and creates varying colors when viewed from different angles and in different light.

HAPPY CAMPER: Pizza, Booze, Vibes, Happiness and reSAWN’s CHARRED WOOD

By reSAWN TIMBER co. In CHARRED WOOD, Product Installs /

Happy Camper (1209 N. Wells St., Old Town) is a little sister to beloved Lincoln Park pizza joint Homeslice, and the family resemblance is obvious. Both spots have pizza, of course, and there’s the same kind of rustic-kitsch décor scheme. This newbie, however, is massive, big enough to hold people stopping in for a slice and a beer before conquering Division Street and those looking for late-night eats at the end of a long night of bar crawling. Happy Camper features reSAWN’s TAIYO charred wood wall cladding in #2 common grade cypress.

By reSAWN TIMBER co. In CHARRED WOOD, Product Installs /

Jan Fogel, an architect based in Brooklyn, specified reSAWN’s shou sugi ban CHARRED exterior siding for this private residence in Park Slope.

reSAWN worked closely with the homeowners and the architect to select MURASAKI, a custom CHARRED product offered upon request.

“The advice and guidance we received from the reSAWN team was excellent. reSAWN was generous in sending us multiple samples and trying different stains to achieve the look we desired. Delivery was easy to arrange. The siding arrived in excellent condition, with the vast majority of boards in longer lengths, resulting in a cleaner, more uniform appearance for the house. Our 1920 row house has been transformed. It is beautiful. As one of my neighbors remarked, so many people stop to look and comment, we could sell tickets.”

Jaw Dropping Design Effects of Charred Wood Unveiled by Yaroslav Galant

By reSAWN TIMBER co. In CHARRED WOOD, Inspiring Designs, RSTco. furniture /

We love what Ukrainian designer Yaroslav Galant is doing with charred wood furniture. Galant discovered that charred wood can be employed in various interior schemes with striking aesthetic effects. His “Born 2B Burn” collection (initially spotted by Freshome on Captivatist) can be organically adapted to different design concepts from classical to eclectic and contemporary.

The designer shares some secrets regarding his manufacturing technique: “Furniture frame is charred at temperature about 2000°F. The short-term influence of high temperature carbonizes surfaces with proper color and texture, while the wood core still remains undamaged. After cooling down, the furniture is impregnated with a special substance epioftonol (patented by Yaroslav Galant). On the final stage the wooden surface is varnished”. As you can see in the photos below, the resulting furniture displays an original finish, one that is certain to impress and amaze.
