UNAGI 2.0 by reSAWN TIMBER co. features charred Accoya® wood, treated with the Japanese Shou Sugi Ban technique for exterior and interior cladding. Accoya is a high-performance wood modified through acetylation, enhancing its durability and dimensional stability. This makes it ideal for outdoor use, offering superior environmental benefits compared to slow-growing hardwoods, treated woods, and non-renewable materials like plastics and steel.
Proven to withstand extreme weather conditions—above ground, below ground, and even submerged—Accoya retains its appearance with less maintenance. Its exceptional performance has made it a trusted choice for architects, builders, and property owners. Ongoing tests by independent institutes continue to explore its potential for additional applications.
- The Accoya wood patented modification process adds nothing to the wood that does not already naturally occur in it.
- Class 1 durability ensures a longer lifespan, enhanced carbon sequestration potential, and reduced lifetime material consumption compared to other materials. This results in lower maintenance requirements and less frequent coating applications throughout the product’s lifespan.
- Outstanding dimensional stability.
- Superior thermal insulation, providing energy conservation advantages when used for applications such as windows and doors.
- All Accoya wood is produced from well managed sustainable sources including FSC® and other regionally certified woods.

EXPECT BEAUTIFUL WEATHERED WOOD
Our charring & sealing process makes for beautifully designed exterior wood siding. Like any exterior wood siding prefinished or finished in place, these materials will weather naturally over time and will require maintenance. For interior applications, expect little to no change. We’ve created this Charred Usage Guide tell you more.
reSAWN’s charred collection features Accoya®, Kebony®, Sylva®, Cypress, Cedar, Black Walnut, Reclaimed Hemlock, and newly harvested Western Hemlock, all crafted in the Japanese tradition of Shou Sugi Ban.
