I have been using this technique for my wooden sculptures for decades. I did a pyramid plant stand/ pedestal that has lasted one decade with some bleaching but I think cedar will hold its color nicely over time. I have just love the weathered, raised grain look!
I have also experimented with organic amorphous shapes that really play well with the grain on curves especially 3D shapes.
I hope it holds up for you!
I picked up this technique when I studied the Japanese martial art of Aikedo.
Your wife has great taste!
Thank you for sharing!

I love the look of the roof, but I'm wondering how you keep moisture from infiltrating between the planks. I'm considering a technique like this for siding and I like the vertical look. Overlapping horizontally though would certainly prevent the water problem. Good work. Thanks for the video!

Cedar shingles will last over 100 years, cedar blanket chests repellent bugs, so what your doing is putting a green house over a perfectly fine green house to keep the plants in the first green house dry, oh yeah I dought you will live 100 years after you are finished with the build.

will this work on rough cut(cedar? my floating cabin deck is was recently installed and is now open to the weather and I need to keep it protected over winter. white cedar is incredibly rot resistant, even more than western red, but will turn a grey colour if not treated.

Burn, char, scrape and apply three coats of oil. .. U could make a pumpkin last a thousand years with that much work. How about one coat of linseed oil that lasts over 100 years above grade. .. My barn is 109 years old now, looks great and zero rot.

You have to leave the char on it. you brushed off all the protection. Still beautiful but unfortunately the only protection will come from the oil and not the burn. It needs to stay black. Lots of misinformation about this technique online.

Hello, I wonder if this method makes the wood water resistant or water proof, would that be suitable for birdhouses or bat boxes? Otherwise what could I do to make it waterproof? I thank you so much for your help, Kind Regards, Dami.

Don't know alot about this process but isn't the charring of the wood that protects it from the bugs and elements? So if all the charring is scraped or sanded off aren't you removing the protection? Don't know just asking.
