At CARVD, we believe that each table should be as unique as the spaces it inhabits. For those who appreciate a bold, natural look, our Charcoal Black tables offer a striking aesthetic inspired by the textures and tones of burnt wood. Each CARVD Charcoal Black table is crafted through a meticulous process that involves burning the wood with a live flame, followed by a specialized painting and varnishing technique to create a naturally deep black finish with an authentic bonfire wood feel.
What Makes CARVD’s Charcoal Black Tables Unique?
Our Charcoal Black tables are more than just furniture—they’re sculptural pieces that bring a bold, organic character into any room. By using an ancient technique of flame-burning, we achieve a look that preserves the natural grain and texture of the wood while adding depth and drama. This artisanal process gives each table a distinctive charcoal black finishthat’s both rich and visually captivating.
The Crafting Process: Bringing Out the Charcoal Black Finish
Creating a CARVD Charcoal Black table requires patience, skill, and an understanding of how fire interacts with natural wood. Here’s a look at the steps involved in achieving the final product:
Step 1: Selecting High-Quality Wood
The journey of each Charcoal Black table begins with the selection of high-quality, sustainably sourced wood, often Saur wood, chosen for its durability and distinct grain patterns. This quality wood provides the perfect foundation for the burning process, allowing the natural grain to shine through even after it’s transformed by flame and finish.
Step 2: Flame-Burning the Wood
The flame-burning process is where the transformation truly begins. Our artisans carefully burn the surface of the wood using a live flame, charring it to achieve a rich, blackened look. This step requires a skilled touch, as the intensity and movement of the flame directly impact the final appearance of the table. Each section is burned evenly to bring out the natural grain, creating a charcoal texture that’s both visually intriguing and tactile.
The flame-burning process is deeply influenced by the traditional Japanese method known as Shou Sugi Ban, which enhances the wood’s natural resilience while bringing out a deep, smoky black tone. This technique gives each table an organic, textured finish that captures the essence of charred wood, with subtle highlights that enhance the natural grain patterns.
Step 3: Applying a Black Paint Layer
Once the wood has been flame-burned to achieve the desired texture, our artisans apply a thin coat of black paint. This step deepens the charcoal color while adding consistency to the overall tone, ensuring that the table has a unified yet dynamic appearance. The black paint enhances the look of the burnt wood without covering the natural texture, allowing the intricate grain patterns to remain visible beneath the finish.
Step 4: Sealing with a Protective Varnish
To protect the charcoal black finish and give it a soft, natural sheen, each table is finished with a high-quality varnish. This varnish not only adds a layer of durability, making the table suitable for daily use, but also preserves the organic, bonfire wood feel. The varnish seals in the burnt texture, ensuring that it remains touchable while adding a polished yet natural look.
