Solution: Japanese style charred wood called Shou-Sugi-Ban

Product – Charwood™ – Ebony

The inception of Shou-Sugi-Ban, the centuries old traditional Japanese method of charring wood, was the result of the need for low maintenance, rot, pest, and fire resistant wood siding and fencing. Montana Timber Products’ Charwood™ product line, provides three variations of natural, NO VOC, Shou-Sugi-Ban wood.

This week’s featured project utilizes Charwood™ Ebony as an interior and exterior solution. Ebony is the “mid-level” burn of the three Charwood™ offerings. It provides similar wood grain striping to that of the Tiger offering, but with a more intense burn to create deeper, richer, coloring.

Charwood’s incredible ability to resist fire and pests is attested to it’s charring process, which effectively eliminates the majority of its potential energy (combustibility) and it’s vascular tissue. Vascular tissue is the primary food source for boring insects; without it, you minimize the chance of the invasive pests finding their way into your home.

There are many variations of Charwood™. Many of these variations are harvested overseas and shipped to the United States. All Montana Timber Products natural wood products are sourced and processed in-house here in the United States, minimizing the ecological footprint and maintaining control of sustainable practices.

This week we visit a new small chain restaurant named Grassburger, located in Durango, Colorado and Albuquerque, New Mexico. Grassburger was founded on the idea of providing healthy, natural, sustainable food. Montana Timber Products was founded on the similar principles of creating natural, chemical free lumber products that were harvested and milled using sustainable practices. Making the decision to use Montana Timber Products’ natural, NO VOC, reclaimed barn wood alternatives for their newest location in Albuquerque was an easy decision.

Montana Timber Products’ reclaimed barn wood alternative natural wood siding is crafted from new, non-chemically treated wood. This means that there is no introduction of chemicals into our environment or into your home, making all products safe to use for interior and exterior applications and free of noxious odors. Additionally, because you can choose your dimensions, you will reduce waste from 30-40% of traditional reclaimed wood usage to 5-10% when using ranchwood™; eliminating waste and saving you money.

The mixed colors, textures, and widths used in this rustic reclaimed barn wood project were done so with the intent of creating the appearance of authentic reclaimed barn wood. As you know, authentic reclaimed barn wood comes in many colors, shapes and sizes of varying degrees and is an excellent choice for certain applications. However, in many instances, it is desirable to be able to choose your color, texture, profile, and dimensions. That’s where Montana Timber Products’ ranchwood™, AquaFir™ , and Charwood™ reclaimed barn wood alternatives come into play. Each one of these product lines offers a unique rustic look of their own and are fully customizable to your preferences. This project’s unique rustic reclaimed wood aesthetics were achieved by utilizing the customization options that Montana Timber Products offers.

Products: 1×6 and 1 x10
Contractor: Dave Jackson Construction
Architect:  EPIKOS LLC, Planning + Architecture

Faux Beam Wraps built with Ranchwood!

This home is located in the heart of downtown McCall, Idaho.  The architect recommended Ranchwood as the best solution to mix the Craftsman design with a bit of rustic flare. 

The homeowners of this residence wanted to maintain a Craftsman design while integrating flooring and faux beam options to add a little rustic flavor.  The six color options of Ranchwood provided excellent options to finish the interior design of their home.  MTP Representative , Marty Melander, met with the contractor and architect to work on color selections, coordinated the installation and  delivery to the project.

Faux Beams and Interior Design Ideas

Vertical Beam Wrap

Exterior and interior beam options often take the place of appearance grade timbers.  A lower cost solution; these wraps require excellent craftsmanship by contractors to ensure the corners are mitered correctly.  Also, it’s important for the wood to acclimate at the interior temperature prior to installation.  Either crafted by Montana Timber Products or by our customers, these continue to be nice options which add to the rustic décor.

Marty continues to work well with local contractors, architects, and new dealers of Ranchwood to educate on the various benefits of the product lines.  The homeowners were pretty excited to finish this remodel project off and start enjoying their place near Payette Lake in McCall.
