Beachfront Home in Longport :: shou sugi ban and white oak

By reSAWN TIMBER co. In Product Installs /  
ABOUT THE PROJECT

This private residence is located in Longport, New Jersey. The beautifully renovated beach home features reSAWN’s HOWAITO and SURETO shou sugi ban exterior siding, along with North American White Oak flooring.

This material was specified by Philadelphia Design Co., known for high-end residential design.  Materials were specified with a 5″ wide face and shiplap milling with a 1/8″ reveal.  Installation is being done by Seashore Exteriors, a 4th generation company specializing in residential and commercial exteriors in the south NJ area.

reSAWN’s award-winning CHARRED collection pays homage to the traditional Japanese technique of “shou-sugi-ban” aka “yakisugi” without being literal.  Historically very specific in their definition, “shou-sugi-ban” and “yakisugi” have become common nomenclature for modern charred wood designs in general.  All of reSAWN’s CHARRED products are made in the USA, in their facility in Telford, PA. reSAWN uses domestic wood species whenever possible, including Cypress from the Southern US and domestic White Oak, Black Walnut, Red Oak & Ash as well as reclaimed woods from the US.  The designs in the CHARRED collection have been carefully developed using modern finishes and incorporating reSAWN’s many years of experience in the architectural & design specification market.  reSAWN manufacturers charred wood products for a range of applications including exterior siding, interior wall cladding & flooring, and custom furniture.

Smoldering in Seattle :: shou sugi ban

By reSAWN TIMBER co. In CHARRED WOOD /  

ABOUT THE PROJECT

This private residence is located in the Queen Anne Hill neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. The beautifully renovated fire station features reSAWN’s SORA shou sugi ban interior wall cladding and MOYASU shou sugi ban exterior siding.

Queen Anne Hill is a neighborhood and geographic feature in Seattle, Washington, northwest of downtown. The neighborhood sits on the highest named hill in the city, with a maximum elevation of 456 feet. It covers an area of 2.8 sq mi, and has a population of about 28,000. Queen Anne is bordered by Belltown to the south, Lake Union to the east, the Lake Washington Ship Canal to the north and Interbay to the west. The hill became a popular spot for the city’s early economic and cultural elite to build their mansions, and the name derives from the architectural style typical of many of the early homes.

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).

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.

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).
