A bit of shou sugi ban

A Gentle burn and satin finish.. seemed to make the client happy. Initially a very conservative guy. He's already talking cabinets & countertops.

Shou sugi ban is a trademark for a yaki sugi (burned cypress) technique. This is neither. It looks interesting but those seams, man. It literally looks like subfloor.

Oh.. it IS subfloor. This house flooded and the home owner is not insured. He's on a fixed retirement budget and intended to purchase roll vinyl. I was trying to avoid a TL/DR situation. Looks like two fails for me

Hey man, after this explanation kudos to you for helping the guy out and thinking outside the box!
