Durability. Diversity. Quiet beauty.
Cinder Wood has modernized the ancient Japanese wood-charring technique of Yakisugi (焼杉) and adapted it for use in today’s construction market. The result is a building material that is functionally dynamic and visually striking.
History of Yakisugi
The technique of Yakisugi was perfected in Japan in the 16th century. The name Yakisugi “焼杉板” has been translated in the West to Shou Sugi Ban – both meaning “charred wood” in Japanese. The method involves charring the surface of wood to provide a long-lasting and beautifully striking charred wood finish.
Milled in Maine
Cinder Wood’s commitment to a job done right starts in the shop. Their carefully curated collection of lumber is inspected and milled on-site at their Mount Desert processing facility. Taking ownership of every step of the process certifies that each product they deliver will meet and surpass steep industry standards.
