Does anybody know how to give wood a burnt look ? This guide looks quite in depth, but I need some advice from you, is it worth to burnt wood by myself or I should buy burnt wood products instead?
I am pretty sure you can't buy burnt wood to the size you want it, I have seen 0% water Ash spindles, which are about as much fun as turning charcoal. go for a MAPP gas blowtorch preferably as it burns about 1000° hotter than standard propane, getting that surface scorch quicker actually puts less heat into the timber and reduces the risk of it burning rather than scorching. ALWAYS be aware of your surroundings it is one thing to scorch a bowl rim, quite another to flick the flame over a pile of shavings. As Pete said inside the workshop may not be the best place, if it is the only place then clean up first.
You are literally playing with fire, so have a way to extinguish it very handy, and a second pair of eyes to look at the surroundings rather than focusing on the intended effect doesn't hurt either, learned that lesson back in my welding days, very easy not to notice a resulting fire beyond your focal point.
