Sho-Shugi-Ban (Wood Torching/ Burning)

This custom add-on service presents a remarkable opportunity for customers to personalize their pendants with using the ancient Japanese technique of shou sugi ban (焼杉板), which involves charring the wood to enhance its durability and aesthetic appeal. The process not only creates a stunning rich black char but also accentuates some of the natural wood grain, resulting in a striking visual effect. After torching the wood, it is meticulously brushed and finished with either linseed oil or polyurethane to ensure a lasting quality. For an even more impressive result, customers can combine this service with a Metal Inlay, adding a two-tone color effect that makes logos or designs stand out. Whether intended as gifts or for personal use, this service elevates ordinary wooden items into unique, bespoke creations that beautifully express individual style and craftsmanship.
