Gradient Shou Sugi Ban, wood artwork

Dimensions: 56.5" x 30"
The exact one in the image is available to ship out right away.

This piece is inspired by a Japanese torch technique called Shou Sugi Ban which is an ancient way of preserving wood from the outdoor environment. I decided to put my own spin on it by giving it a gradient look; it showcases the different stages of the wood being torched from light to dark charcoal.

The wood used for this art piece is Reclaimed Douglas Fir Beams that are cut into blocks that measure 4-5/8" x4-5/8" x 1-1/8" deep. They are Glued to a maple plywood backer board with a special adhesive that is really strong that will never come apart. The frame is made of Poplar hardwood stained in ebonized finished. The entire piece was sprayed in a low VOC water based sealer to preserve the look of the wood and to give it a zero maintenance finish.

If you interested in a custom size please give me a shout and we can discuss the details of your request.

Each art piece is hand signed and dated in the back and I also make a custom made laser engraved wood name tag on the side of the piece.

I also include a heavy duty aluminum z channel mounting bracket for super easy wall installation.

All my art pieces are made using very old wood from barns and homes taken down in my area.

Hi My name is Craig Forget and I am a reclaimed wood artist

I feel that I am part of the large art movement that has been growing in the Detroit and Windsor area, it is great to be part of this movement. It is also great to be able to express myself through art. I am in it for the long haul, I believe in producing the most unique art pieces with the most unique wood that I can find. I always feel that it is the old, reclaimed wood that makes my pieces unique.


I have been influenced by woodworking from a very young age and recently I have found my true passion for building unique artwork and furniture out of reclaimed barn wood. What I love about the materials that I work with is that you never know what types of wood you are going to find in the local barns that range from 80 to 200 years of age. You could say I am like a kid in a candy store.


What makes my artwork and furniture so unique is that I am always on the hunt for unique types of wood that will create an impressive piece. I especially enjoy working with wood that is bursting with character. There are no faux finishes in the world that can duplicate the colors and textures that Mother Nature creates, 95% to 100% of the colors you see on my art pieces have not been stained what you see is the natural color of the wood. When wood is aged for 80 to 100 years, it turns naturally dark in color.
The darker brown natural woods were those aged within a barn, while grey boards have been weathered outside.
When you are buying one of my pieces, you are also buying a piece of Pioneer history, when power tools were almost non-existent.
