Shou Sugi Ban Dovetailed Chisel Box

I made this dovetailed pine box for some Narex Chisels I have and finished it with a Japanese wood burning technique called " Shou Sugi Ban".

Simply put it’s a Japanese woodburning technique. Originating in Japan, Shou Sugi Ban is a particularly striking method of preserving wood by charring it with fire. Originally called “Yakisugi” in Japanese for charring cedar, Shou Sugi Ban is an ancient Japanese technique consisting of charring cedar boards, burnishing the burnt results with sandpaper and wire brushes and then sealing the charred surface with natural oils such as Pure Tung Oil. 

The finish is a stunning controlled burning technique that yields beautiful results!! Of course I hand cut dovetailed all the corners as well!

Thanks for looking!

Cheers!
