Burned board and batten siding. Yakisugi (焼杉) Yakimatsu (焼松) 

He lives! Glad to see you back Mr. chickadee

The CC available at the beginning was masterful. Loved it

I came across this technique a while back somewhere for my cabin, but you’re the first to show it in a comprehensive way, so that I can actually do it myself now. Priceless! Thank you so much for sharing!

Absolutely love the look and design. Simple and functional.

That's a deep burn. I would have not been brave enough to burn that long. Thanks for showing this technique.

So happy to see you and your wonderful work after so long...Greetings from Chile.☘️🌿🌱🌺

So awesome to see old world tech used by a new generation. This channel is a treasure.

16:38 the contrast between the black charred timber and the natural timber window frame is just amazing.

This may sound childish, but every boy needs one, you're my hero. The whole way about you is nature respecting. We need more of that.

@mr. Chickadee with this deep burn into a 4/4" boards on one side, what kind of wood movement are you experiencing? Cupping. Warping. Also would be nice to revisit one of your older Yakisugi projects to see how well its aged.

Watching Mr Chikadees side burns for 18 minutes and loving every second. 😂

Interesting video. Obviously you know what you are doing and like the process and how it looks. What I don’t understand is how many posts tell you why it won’t work and what will go wrong instead of asking you a question.

The cravings for a new Mr Chickadee video only began yesterday… this is excellent timing, sir! Thanks 🙏

I’d love to be a fly on the wall if a vinyl siding salesman made a cold call at the Chickadee place. That would be priceless! LOL! Fantastic job! It’s beautiful!

Inarguably the best video to date. This is breathtaking.

Thanks for making this video, and adding all the detailed notes. I plan to use this technique for the exterior of my cabin build. Also good to see it can be done well with pine.

One of the few channels on youtube from which i like every video before i watch it.

Thank you, Mr Chickadee. All of your videos inspire and I feel as if I’ve meditated after watching one. I learned much about efficiency and not wasting propane in this video. I’m delighted that I got to see your face also. No talking, brief replies to questions; so nourishing. Your followers also are humorous and I laugh alot. Thank you so much. I’ll be trying this technique on fir plywood.

Good to hear from you again, thanks for posting.

This is a treat! Such a comprehensive explanation of the process, with multiple examples of how to do it! Thanks!

Now that's what i consider a controlled Burn .

Beautiful skills of a hard-working man! Wonderful result! Hat off!

Always happy when you post a video, its so relaxing to watch your content!

Just awesome. Thanks for posting all your hard work.

Fabulous crocodile charring...perfection with this technique! When I did my main cabin I laid the boards flat...so much wasted heat. Building a small sleeping cabin soon and will use this method...thank you. Also love the shot of the stainless steel screws steadily securing the battens and pulling the boards tight. Kudos to you both.

Thank you for teaching me new skills. Best wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪

Love your videos, techniques, and the outcome! Wishing you and Mrs Chickadee the best from Canada!

Did this to 70' horizontal fence I built in 2021. I can still hear the crackle of the wood, heat of the torch and look of the gator. Very relaxing to revisit thanks! Beautiful

Nice video work on the close ups of the fastener details, showing scale of project, and the flow of completion. Beautiful work, as always.

I love this channel so much! The filming & editing is so inspirational to me.

Cool and economical. Your videos are like getting a call from an old friend. An old friend with a great sense of presentation and an eye for composition.

Oh boy!More Chickadee

I always enjoy your posts, how you approach each job, such wonderful attention to each element. I'm sure it is enormously gratifying, making for a very content life. I also admire your patience in answering people on here...lol...

Flipping amazing Mr. chickadee.

Always happy when i recive the new video notification, gg from Brazil.

Nice video. Class surface finishing! 👍🏻💪🏻 You rarely see such a surface!

Beautiful work, as usual ! Thanks

Yeah!!! The latest long awaited video!!!

impressive dedication and skill ! TY for sharing!

This is the way to do it! Another master class , thanks

The bird songs are beautiful, of course your work is too.

I am so glad to see that amongst all of this "modern" commotion, that there are some human beings that are living the real dream! thank you for existing.

I Love how far you took it. A lot of people will char it a little. It’s beautiful!

What a wonderful video. Thanks for teaching me something new. I'm greatful.

THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER AWESOME VIDEO!

That process hapen in some poor People's house. They use a plywood tree, called "Embaúba", that wood, split straight in every side, forming planks without Saw. And they burn It to protect. Here on cost side in Brazil.

Beautiful as always, Josh.

My neighbor did this to his siding...and framing...and roof. ...Just kidding his meth lab blew up.

Wow you threw me for loop at the start, but the end result it amazing. Great content. Thank you

I've only seen a furniture finish that's burned and brushed, but nothing like this! That was amazing. I've seen you do this before but not to this extent.

Great job as always.

absolutely beautiful!

Beautiful finish, and I bet it smells wonderful too

I’ve done this before on a barn in Maine. Lots of fun, and such a beautiful result.

Another beautiful job. Well done.

Want to say something like, oh this is how the fires started this year. But I know you read these. So good video, hard work. You inspire me.

Absolutely beautiful.

love this technique, great job

That looks really good! last time I worked with soot ended with black snots for days, really fine dust. There's an indigenous ancient tree resin, Copal, that's very handy perhaps for this kind of finish given that it's meltable and super flammable too, actually it was used in the old recopies for wood varnishes. I know this Japanese technique must have its science but I used to fixate the soot to my ceramic sculptures with a blowtorch and brushing over copal dissolved in alcohol, ultra resistant actually for a ceramic material that's hard as glass. Never thought about using it for wood until I saw this video 👍

Gonna have to make my own flamer cos I live in nanny state Australia where all the good stuff is illegal...

I bought a 1860s workman cottage in Cambridge MA built with salvaged burnt timber’s from other houses. I’m convinced that saved it from termites. Wherever they used non burnt wood there would be termite damage. It was balloon framed so the sill often had rot and the first few inches of studs... which ran 2 flights to the roof plates.

Awesome filming and editing.

outstanding videos as always...an inspiration

Beautiful finish.

You never fail to deliver!!

As always wonderful work.

Looking great around there Josh! Coming along well. Fred.🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋

As usual all great work and no talk 👍

WOW! My mind is torn between "Natural" and "Stealth Fighter" :)

A very interesting and effective technique. Efficient in the use of propane, too. Thanks!

Absolutely Beautiful !

いい雰囲気になりましたね。焼杉もムラなく仕上がっています。

Glorious. Keep up the good work.

You say so much with no words.

I absolutely love this! Beautiful! 🕊️&❤️

Always a joy to watch!

Mr. C in the hizzouse!! Been too long without vid Sir - welcome back!

amazing like always

I missed you Mr. chickadee, very nice video. Greetings from The Netherlands

Luxurious alligator pattern!Lol Thank you for your posts

Ah a toasted shed. Great video, thumbs up.

Gorgeous! would really like to make something like that myself.

You should see the lab experiment when the instructor burns a slice of bread. He places the burnt bread on his hand and takes a blow torch and points it right at his hand. No heat transfer. The ultimate fire protection.

Beautiful Work

Beautifully done; bravo.

so beautiful :) thank you!

Awesome job looking great and excellent work

Good work looks great. Thanks 😀🙏

wow, what an efficient way of doing it!

Good to see you again brother! Hope you show the window making and interior cabinets and furniture.

That looks GREAT!!!!!!

You know what would be the greatest collab on YT? Mr. Chickadee and Advoko makes, they could build a town with their bare hands 😉

Stunning video

Buen trabajo compañero, te felicito.

Im suprised on how well controled that chimney fire was

Very cool . enjoyed the subtitles.

Beautiful!

It’s great to see you burn the timber in the traditional style 👍 looks great.

Great job my friend ✌️❤️

great idea to make a chimney, I will use it, it will make the work much faster than one by one great carpentry skills
