Blackwood Ayagawa

Ayagawa is the oak variety of the traditional Japanese Shou Sugi Ban. The robust oak wood has a beautiful characteristic drawing. By burning in the flames of our oven Ayagawa gets a beautiful, dull black color.

The carbon layer of Ayagawa is stronger than, for example, Douglas fir. Ayagawa gives off slightly: this is easily washable with water and natural soap. The carbon layer ages over the years and acquires a special patina (weathering). For indoor use treated Ayagawa is very suitable: we fix the carbon layer so that the wood becomes really strong. The oak wood of Ayagawa can also be used outdoors, but can start working under heavy weather influences.
