Thermally modified wood is typically used for decks. The process involves heating the wood in an oxygen free environment, which makes it stable, rot-resistant and darker in color. Three 12′ long 8/4 boards of thermally modified ash were used for this garden bench. The wood was cut with a bandsaw, with a chisel and oscillating sander used for clean up. Joinery is mortise and tenons. Finish prep involves sanding, gluing and masking off the tenons. Simple teak oil provided the finish.

Key Takeaways:

  • Thermal modification heats wood in an oxygen-free environment, which makes it stable, rot-resistant and darker.
  • Construction begins with the side assemblies and cutting the rails and leg blocks to length.
  • Teak oil is used to finish and epoxy to glue it together.

“Thermally modified woods have been around for a while mostly in the building industry where it’s primarily used for decking.”
