ORIGINAL CUT WHITE OAK
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. This seemingly simple cut actually requires advanced knowledge and experience in the milling and drying process of wood to ensure that the harder heart wood does not become brittle and break apart through the drying or milling process. This is not a new method of cutting but rather a modern take on a historic theme. Early settler’s used this through-and-through method of sawing to quickly and efficiently produce flooring for their barns and homes. Original cut white oak flooring’s unique blend of character and grain pattern recaptures this historic aesthetic for modern settings.

CHARRED WOODEN SCULPTURES
Internationally renowned Italian sculptor Aron Demetz makes use of traditional woodcarving techniques to create sculptures that often convey his preoccupation with humanity’s relationship to nature. Rather than presenting polished and perfected works, Demetz revels in the wood’s textures and its transformation through various natural processes. The charred human sculptures evoke feelings of vulnerability – of both the wooden materials they are composed of and the human figures they represent. Demetz’s sculptures present mankind and nature as one, reflecting the fragility of both.

MODERN LAKE HOUSE :: SHOU SUGI BAN SIDING
MODERN LAKE HOUSE in VERNON, BC featuring shou-sugi-ban CHARRED wood exterior siding – MOYASU from reSAWN TIMBER co.’s CHARRED collection
reSAWN’s CHARRED collection features cypress, yellow pine and red oak that is burnt in the Japanese tradition of shou-sugi-ban. translated as “the burning of Japanese cypress (sugi)”, and traditionally used in Japan as exterior siding, this ancient technique is gaining new life as a unique and modern interior and exterior wall cladding. 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.
