Shou-sugi-ban is an ancient Japanese charred wood technique.

David is a local Florida wood sculptor, focusing on sea life. His hand made pieces are one of a kind and are created with a keen eye for authenticity and texture. His process begins with the selection of wood grain that accents the fish's natural contours. His utilization of the Japanese method of Shou Sugi Ban surface charing, adds a three dimensional effect to the grain. Wire brushing, sanding, and polishing prepares the surface for coloring with select dyes and paints.
