Leonardo’s wood charring method predates Japanese practice

Yakisugi, a Japanese technique of burning wood surfaces, creates a protective carbonized layer...

Ars Technica

It seems like between everything happening and being mentally in places I make a scoop per 6 months at most. But well, here they are; sisters from the same piece of wood, one put-together but sassy, the other edgy on the outside but the gentlest soul when you get to know her closer. Guess which is which.

(They don't have homes, but I'll appreciate just kind words, tbh).

Šodien mācījos ko jaunu. Manuprāt tīri labi sanāca, varētu arī kaut ko nopietnāku uzbūvēt šādi. #Yakisugi

I've been avoiding programming the last month, and instead learning how to #refinish #wood #furniture. I fished a bunch of 2x6's out of construction dumpsters and sawed them into squares for test swatches.
