Yakedo is the most traditional and easily recognisable of all our Yakisugi options.
Outside of Japan some refer to this style as “gator skin” or “snake skin”. We simply call it Yakedo.
The original burnt layer is approximately 2-3mm thick. The charred surface has an easily damaged shell unless prefinished with our special resin based coatings. The applied resin coatings help to maintain the blister effect for longer. Yakedo is not suitable for high traffic areas as the blisters can become easily damaged.

Naturally Durable:
Using naturally durable species our Yakedo Yakisugi enhances the durability further
