Controlling appearance with Shou Sugi Ban
Shou Sugi Ban is all about contrast: fire and wood, protection and aesthetics.
After burning, a charred layer forms that protects the wood. But that same layer also defines the final look. Do you leave it as is, or brush it back to reveal the structure?
In this project, the customer chose a brushed finish. By removing the softer parts of the wood, the harder grain remains visible. The result: a strong, distinctive texture while maintaining the protective benefits.
To create this effect, we developed a solution that brushes the workpiece on all sides in a single pass. Settings such as speed, pressure, and brush rotation can be adjusted easily, making it possible to process different shapes and radii with consistent results.
- Tynex brushes for optimal control
- Full processing in one pass
- Smart dust extraction and cleaning
- Fully tailored to the production line
The result? Full control over both process and appearance. Exactly what Shou Sugi Ban demands.
