"Shou-sugi-ban" or "Yakisugi" wood finish technique - ?

Carbon and alcohol. What a volatile combination. Can’t be Code Compliant.

When I sit near the door at meetings I’m usually just concerned about being a fire hazard. Now that seems to have a whole new meeting (not that I have much alcohol content at most meetings).

What about indoor air quality with some people “off-gassing.”

You guys crack me up!

Specifiers: Carbon based, formaldehyde infused, alcohol soaked, harmful gas emitting, and blowing smoke all at the same time!

And don’t forget those of us who are more than 500 miles from our place of manufacture.

I don’t know what my recycled content is. I guess I comply with the Buy America Act.

I don’t think I want to end up in a landfill. Wow, kind of a morbid thought for the day: Is a cemetery just a landfill with headstones?

Q: “Is a cemetery just a landfill with headstones?”

A: Yes. Maybe not next year but eventually that land is used for something else. Not morbid, just realistic. Remember: Death, a metabolic affliction causing total shutdown of all life functions, has long been considered humanity’s number one health concern. Responsible for 100 percent of all recorded fatalities worldwide, the condition has no cure. (from The Onion 1/22/97, but true nevertheless).

Given that I am still planning to live forever: so far, so good.

Ellis, ever see The Magnificent Seven? “So far, so good” is one of my favorite quotes from the story that Steve McQueen told about the guy who fell off a 10 story building.

It’s also a Steven Wright line…one of many that make me laugh out loud.

“Half the people you know are below average”
“All those who believe in psychokinesis, raise my hand.”
“OK, so what’s the speed of dark?”

and so many more…

Ken;

I have seen The Magnificent Seven many times. Good movie, although I still like its source The Seven Samurai better (Kurosawa versus Sturges is no contest). Was that Steve McQueen (Vin) quote form the scene where he is riding shotgun for Yul Brynner (Chris) on the hearse?

Lynn;
I agree: Steve Wright is very funny.
When everything’s coming your way, you’re in the wrong lane, going the wrong way.
