Award Winning Shou Sugi Ban

Shou Sugi Ban In Architecture & Design

reSAWN has modernized the ancient Japanese shou sugi ban process to create high-performance, beautiful wood products for interior and exterior use. The designs vary greatly in aesthetics from a fully charred black to light, subtle grey. reSAWN uses only the highest quality wood species to ensure unmatched performance in any suitable application. Species include domestic Western Red Cedar, Cypress, Western Hemlock, Reclaimed Wood, Black Walnut, and Modified Woods including Accoya and Kebony. 

Some of the benefits of shou sugi ban include:

• Enhanced Durability: The shou sugi ban process carbonizes the wood’s surface and creates an outer char layer that protects against rot, insects, and moisture-related decay in exterior applications.
• Various Textures and Tones: The modernizing of shou sugi ban allows us to make products featuring many color tones that fit with virtually any project aesthetic.

reSAWN is committed to working with Architects and Designers to create projects that highlight wood’s natural beauty and sustainability. Our charred products have been used on countless award-winning projects including
