Wood charred refers to wood that has been partially burned, resulting in a blackened, textured surface created by exposure to fire or intense heat. This process, often intentional, highlights the natural grain while enhancing the wood's durability and aesthetic appeal. Charred wood is commonly associated with the Japanese technique shou sugi ban, where it is used for its resistance to rot, pests, and weathering. The charred surface can range from slightly darkened to deeply cracked and blackened, depending on the degree of burning. Its striking appearance and protective qualities make it popular in modern architecture, furniture design, and art. Get in touch with us to learn more about wood-charred!
