Burn & brush wood finishing

Burning wood with a blow torch

If you’re using wood for indoor or outdoor projects, burn and brush wood finishing is a great way to achieve a unique look and feel. There are all sorts of things you can do with it- not only is it an interesting aesthetic choice, but it has practical benefits too.

This technique helps to lock in your desired colour, and actually preserves against weathering and rot if you were using it in an exterior application. You can either treat it with a clear solution to maintain your charred look, or go over it with your desired stain.
