like it rick. ive got a project coming up that i did shou sugi ban on. you inspired me !
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
I need to try the Shou Sugi Ban style. I always enjoy how that finishing process comes out. Nicely done.
Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".
it's a cool technique. you can go lightly as rick did or i went very heavy and dark which added contrast to what im making.

Hmmm, reminds me why I always seem to choose a recessed panel for the lids and bottoms 😀
Did you stage your miter cuts so all the parts that must be the same length are cut at the same time?
PITA for frames, PITA^3 for a cube! Next challenge, spline all those miters! 🤠
Otherwise, good results IMO. The finish seals the deal.

Thanks Pottz! Glad I'm to inspire you. Go for it! There's so much you can do with this technique.

Thanks RyanGi ! Try it out. If I can help in any way just ask.

Yes... all miters stages and cut at same time.
I could have done hidden splines but didn’t. Didn't really want to do outside splines because burning would likely expose them. I could come back and do vertical dowels but at this point ...nah!
i wouldn't add them either, looks good the way it is.

Thanks Pottz. BTW... I'm going to do another with a different dye color. Stayed tuned! 🙂
Nice looking box with the grain running around the sides, and it's very pronounced with the finishing technique. Looks pretty good, nowhere near butt ugly.

Thanks Oldtool! It was a very hot day when I made it and doing miters all around was a bit of a challenge. Thus the comment of wee frustration .... but nonetheless it was fun and I'm happy with it.
Nice box and a well written description. Thanks for sharing!

Nice box and a well written description. Thanks for sharing!
You're very welcome Steve. And thanks for your kindness.
I do my mitered boxes on the tablesaw as well. I made a sled with stops so I can get four corner matches.
I may try this Shou Sugi Ban technique.
I have some old pine. Don't get much Ash around here. Would 40-50 year old pine work? Any wood species that are better for this technique?
Thanks for sharing. Nice work.

Different, and some interesting techniques! I thought it was secret mitred dovetails at first!!!!!!

RWE ..... Old Pine is best! Wish I had 40 - 50 year old Pine. Grain direction is important. Quarter sawn would be best but any will do. Look for dramatic grain... it will be great. Spruce, Cypress, Fir, Cedar are all good. Softwoods are much better to use. Experiment. Some hardwoods are good. I've had luck with White Oak and Spalted Maple. Sample and experiment first though.

Do you like it Madburg? I've done lots of mitered dovetails but not on this one.
The description is as good as the box. Never tried that type of finish, the burning. Probably set my shop ablaze. Thanks for posting it. I do like the box.

i used red oak and it gave a nice grain pattern. after the heavy burn with my plumbers torch i used steel wool and it really enhanced the grain. id love to try a light burn with some stains. im not big into this kind of stuff but i can see using it for some projects.

Thanks 987Ron! Give it a try. I do mine out on the driveway on a workmate with a few big bricks on top.
