Most of the stumps that were over at Kanemoto were able to be charred this weekend. A BIG THANK YOU!!! to all the volunteers that helped to get this messy task done – Ed, Mike, Christine, Ruth and Maura! You all ROCK!
There are a few left, and we are hoping to get another pile delivered this week, meaning we will need to have more volunteers to get this job completed. Ed feels that if we have a group of six people all at once, it would run very smoothly. Two to char, two to spray down with water, and two to scrape and polish them up. This is a “dirty” job, so please take care to wear old work clothes when you volunteer.
If you are interested in this Japanese technique of wood preservation, look up Shou Sugi Ban…very interesting! We don’t have the time or resources to do it the “real” Japanese way, and there are a few different ways to go about this, but we are doing our best with what we have.
Here are some pics from this weekend. These stumps look really nice when all finished off, and I think they will look very smart on our islands 🙂
It would be terrific if we could get about six to eight people really committed to helping out next weekend. I know it’s close to Christmas…horrible time to be doing this, but this project NEEDS to be completed by December 31st. If the weather is good, we need to capitalize on that.
