Shou sugi ban cedar wood Idaho background with or without foreground of plasma-cut metal mountains and trees.

Shou sugi ban (焼杉板) is an ancient Japanese architectural technique that was used to preserve wood by charring the surface with a hot flame. The technique was traditionally performed on Sugi wood - a Japanese cedar. The process involves charring the wood, cooling it, cleaning off any soot or burnt debris on the surface, and finally finishing the boards with an oil. Although fire is generally considered an enemy of wood, Shou Sugi Ban is a natural means of preserving wood without chemicals
