Yes, burned wood offers several customization options. You can choose from different colors and shades to suit your style and preferences. Each piece of burned wood is unique and has its own distinctive character and texture.
The difference between “yakisugi” and “shou sugi ban” lies in the origin and terminology used to refer to the wood burning technique. Yakisugi is the original Japanese term that specifically refers to the technique of burning wood to improve its durability and strength. This term is used in Japan and is widely known in the construction and architecture industry. On the other hand, “shou sugi ban” is an adaptation of the Japanese term that has become popular in the West. It is a variant of the English pronunciation and writing of “yakisugi.” Both terms refer to essentially the same wood burning technique. In short, both “yakisugi” and “shou sugi ban” refer to the traditional Japanese wood burning technique, and the main difference lies in the terminology used in different regions and cultures.
