Get off the Fence about Shou Sugi Ban

Cool reclaimed wood product designers, Arrowhead, based in Durham, North Carolina, revisited a standard pine fence by giving it the shou sugi ban treatment.

 In additional to being aesthetically pleasing, this technique renders the wood virtually maintenance free – fire, rot, and bug resistant – via a layer of carbon created by burning. By employing this technique, we were able to locally create a durable, beautiful product without any industrial materials or processes.
