UPDATE - More Shou Sugi Ban Experimenting
I did these two Shou Sugi Ban boards per Fig A and B based on my experimenting.
Fig A was done a while back. It was a surface burn. No alligator skin. It was stained then shellacked. It's more subdued in appearance and softer.
Fig A
Fig B was just done this morning. I did an even medium burn with a light alligator skin.
Then used my 5" drill flap brush. This made life much easier and allowed me to concentrate on the "look" that I wanted.
As you see it there is no stain and no finish at all.
Fig B
Which do you prefer?
Feel free to comment, ask questions and thumbs up if you like it!
Cheers!

Actually they're quite different. Should have seen Fig B "pop" when I wet it to wash it! Unbelievable!! It gave me a clue what to expect with a glossy top coat. Maybe I'll shellac it.
Here they are again side by side:

I prefer the depth of Fig B, but I like the color added to Fig A.
Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".
That's makes sense RyanGi.
B is much sharper, A is very blotchy.
